I am running centos 5.2 i686. The /boot/config indicates that VIA82CXXXX is built into the kernel. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y my lspci -v gives 00:0f.0 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. CX700M2 IDE (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP]) Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. Unknown device 0581 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32 I/O ports at fc00 [size=16]

Hi folks, I have an HP Proliant 140DL G2 server with what appears to be an IDE drive in non-DMA mode. Performance on the server is extremely bad when large amounts of disk activity is taking place. I think the problem is that my drive is not in DMA mode: # hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off)

Okay, I've been chasing performance for a while now. I have no idea if I should be trying to get better performance or if I'm getting all I can out of my hardware. Here is the information: /sbin/hdparm -I /dev/hdd /dev/hdd: ATA device, with non-removable media Model Number: ST328040A Serial Number: 7BY034XB Firmware Revision: 3.07 Standards:

I recently moved my CentOS 4.5 disk from a Lenovo ThinkCentre M52 (3.2 GHz Pentium 4) to a Lenovo ThinkCentre M55 (3.4 GHz Core 2 Duo). I had to install the SMP kernel, but other than that everything just worked. I did have an issue with accidentally initializing my /boot partition, but that was my own fault. But the system was not feeling right. Some things just seemed to be slower,

I've got a brand new .5U P4 system running several (I think) Seagate 80gig SATA drives. I tried to copy data from the first drive (sda) to the second drive (sdc) and was only getting about 1.7megs/sec. So I figured DMA was off. And this is what happened when I typed "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc": /dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted

I am running 2.4.18-3. I am getting terrible performance. I noticed in the boot.log that my / fs is ext3 and my kernel does not support ext3. I have tried to recompile the kernel with ext3 support. It did not seem to work. (e.g. lags for 40 or so when i am unzipping multiple files) Firstly, is this likely to be the case of my problems? How can i fix it? Do I just recompile the kernel or do I need

I also experienced this problem and the first thing that really helped out was changing the timing in the span line of the zaptel.conf. Change it to look like this (see below) and see if it helps out. I got the error much less after doing this and eventually got rid of the error completely by removing my raid drives, installing an IDE drive, enabling DMA mode on the Hard Drive, enabling APCI in

Hello Folks, We have 2 (identical hardware) busy public 2U rack servers, both have several hundred users & peak email (for example) deliveries at 300/5min during the daytime. Both servers run RAID1 over 2 EIDE disk drives. One server is fine - it never has problems - it is running RH7.3 and CPU loads are normal. The other server has constant disk activity & kjournald at CPU load of

When I copy a file(13Megs) from /home/ to /tmp/, sync takes almost 2 minutes. When I copy the same file to /usr/local/, sync returns almost right away. Both filesystems are ext3 and are on the same harddrive. When sync is running, the harddrive light stays on but I don't hear it doing anything. dmesg doesn't show any errors either. Below is the `time` output for each command. If you

Hello all We are running an Asterisk server using 24 extensions with an AB1 channel bank and a T1 digium card, plus a TDM400 with 4 fxo modules (using only modules 2,3,4). We have been using the pbx with this configuration for some time (asterisk 1.0rc1,1.0rc2). A few weeks ago we have installed a mirrored disk (raid 1) in this server and we have been having some problems with sporadic

Hi, I'm running into issues receiving faxes which, from what I have read, may be caused by frame slips. While I can find many posts saying to investigate it, I can't find any that describe *how* to debug the problem. Tried searching this list as well to no avail. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. FYI, I'm running wbel, AMP 1.04, spandsp 2pre4. Faxing to a pstn on a

Hi there, I'm going mad at this: Asterisk with one HFC isdn card, using the zaptel driver "bristuff" All works ok, but voice coming in/out of the isdn card is out of sync, squelky and disrupted, UNTIL I PUT SOME LOAD TO THE PC, let say launching xwindows. I noticed this: Strong HDD activity = voice is good HDD doing nothing = voice is not good I suppose this could be an

Hi, Just thought I'd share some test results of mine in case anyone is interested. Basically the tests are siumulating what our product does with files - although the tests do it a lot quicker (not as many files though). The test is to create 1 million files (each containing the text of the file number) spread over a number of directories. The files are then removed in the same manner as

Hi there, First of all thanks for all the ext3 development! I run it on my laptop and it has saved me many times from lengthy fscks :-) However, I have observed that whenever something is doing a lot of writing to an ext3 filesystem other processes that involves I/O on the same disk are blocked for long times (often in the 10-30 secs range). For example, if I cp a 1.5 Gb file from one ext3

At first our datacentre techies thought that lilo was forcing the old kernel. They altered lilo.conf & rebooted. It now seems that although the grub config file shows all 3 kernels & the newest is the default - when the system reboots - only the oldest kernel shows on the GRUB screen & only the oldest kernel boots! What can we do to get the newest kernel to boot instead? Regards,

I need to disable the spin-down on an external USB drive because it spins down spontaneously while in use. The drive forgets the spindown-disable state across power outage so I need to reissue the hdparm command with each boot or hotplug. Where should I put the hdparm command to do this?
