Hi. I just put a shiney new IDE (Ultra33) drive in a machine, and
I'm wondering what the best flags to use for the drive are.. I realize
that I can't get DMA on -STABLE (cvsupping right now), but with the
default LINT flags of:
controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0x00ff8004 ..
which turns on 32-bit transfers and multi-block-4
I'm gettting really crappy performance..
vnode:{76}~ % iozone 160 32000
...
IOZONE performance measurements:
2237052 bytes/second for writing the file
2264181 bytes/second for reading the file
Now that is horrible. :-) Same results with block-size of 8K.
I think I'll try without the flag option at all and see how it performs.
Any recomendations appreciated,
-Mark
P.S. The drive is a Quantum Fireball SE 4.3GB, FWIW.
