Hi, I'm not sure if this was already posted, a search didn't turn anything up. On my Thinkpad A20m I experienced insane IDE write slowdowns at some point in updating to 4.3-RC. I could basically do *nothing* while doing large IDE transfers. This persisted in -RELEASE and -STABLE. A quick query of my friendly committer colleague revealed that ATA write caching was now disabled by default. Enabling it in /boot/loader.conf restored my sanity: hw.ata.wc="1" Cheers! /ljb -- lj breedt : http://neverborn.org/ coder/sysadm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
