Hello hackers! I hope someone can help me with this since you know the internals of FreeBSD much more than me. Hope it doesn't take much time. The sort of problem I'm having is this: after installing a new Ultra ATA card (it's based on Silicon Image 0680 chip by the way) although the disks start to run at UATA6 (133) mode (as seen in dmesg output or atacontrol), I see absolutely no improvement compared to WDMA2 mode they used to run previously. I still can get around 14Mb/s on dd transfers, but there has to be more? My motherboard only supports WDMA2 mode and nothing more and that's why I bought the card. Is there any trick I forgot to apply? The drive is Maxtor 120Gb Diamond Plus 9. Also, file transfers from mounted NTFS seem to be very very slow, much slower than UFS transfers, what gives (when using mkisofs for example for burning CDs)? Hope someone can shed some light on this... Z
