Re: Network speed on Cobalt RaQ2's - Any updates?



My Raq2 is not the fastest machine on the block either...
What protocol do you use? NFS, SMB, FTP, SFPT(SSH).... NFS (kernel) is 
probably the fastest option. Further I found that ext2 gives you also a speed 
increase above ext3 (as suspected...). Another thing you could try is using 
hdparm to tune your HD. For instance the "default" was to have dma off, 
switching it on already makes quite a difference. But when using hdparm watch 
out for system instability... 

Good luck,

Vincent

(PS you should find some more info on this subject, if i remember correctly it 
was discussed earlier)
