CD-Rom reads/copies files slow.
For some reason, both my CD-Rom and CD Burner copy files, and read folders and what not on cd's very slowely. When I copy files, it often times stalls forever. It doesn't do this in windows...so it must be a Linux Issue.
I use Slackware 10 with the 2.6.6 kernel. Help apreciated, thanks. -RoaCh |
Perhaps DMA is off... check with the following command
/sbin/hdparm /dev/hdc Where "hdc" is the actual device name of your cdrom. You should get something that looks like this: Code:
/dev/hdc: /sbin/hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc See if that improves your performance. |
Here is my output.
/dev/hdd: HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 1 (on) readahead = 256 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument I will do that and see what happens :) -edit Oh...dma IS on...do the othrs need to be on? Does that matter? |
No, the others shouldn't need to be on...
Is it the same CDs that are working in Windows and not in Linux? |
