Re: Redhat faster than Debian??

[mike <mikpolniak@adelphia.net>]

	I would also run hdparm -v -t  /dev/hd? to see if redhat
enables dma . Debian's default is dma off , so	i  put dma on 
in bootmisc.sh.
	With dma on the hdparm -t (Test) increases my disk
reads from about 3MB/sec to better than 16MB/sec.
