hdparm

Hi to all!

I have an acer travelmate 800lci with sarge installed, and i want to know if my ide hdd settings are right..

the problem is that when i watch some divx the stream hangs sometimes and the audio too..

i paste some info:


Model Number:       IC25N040ATMR04-0


/dev/hda:

 multcount    = 16 (on)

 IO_support   =  3 (32-bit w/sync)

 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)

 using_dma    =  1 (on)

 keepsettings =  0 (off)

 readonly     =  0 (off)

 readahead    = 256 (on)

 geometry     = 16383/255/63, sectors = 78140160, start = 0




DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 *udma5


udma5 should be very good, but when i make hdparm -tT /dev/hda i got these bad statistics


/dev/hda:

 Timing cached reads:   1588 MB in  2.00 seconds = 795.54 MB/sec

 Timing buffered disk reads:   10 MB in  4.05 seconds =   2.47 MB/sec


So, i don't really know why my hdd is so poorly performing..

(i have kernel 2.6.14.4 suspend2 patch)


Thank you

Bye
