ok. So you have the patches and should have the max speed available
atm. There may be newer version of the dma patches but I didn't find the
time to look at that.

ok. this patch has no influence on the disk performances. It may have
some on the network but I'm not sure this patch is right (that's why
it's commented).

The disks leds are disabled by default and don't have a trigger to
enable them. Look at the /sys/class/leds/ directory. If you want to
enable them, echo '1' in the brightness file. For instance:
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/HD1:green/brightness
The hardware will do the rest for the disk I/O access for the green
leds.
