Which, BTW, is the margin that the German c't computer magazine also figured against those DTLA3070xx drives.
Let's take Andre's patch for 2.4.18-pre4 already, it's been solid here. No reason do delay it.
Also, it's high time Linux gets tagged queueing for ATA, FreeBSD has been there for ages, just installed 4.4-RELEASE on a current box and whoooooo hw.ata.tags=1 in /boot/loader.conf.local rocks with hw.ata.wc=0 (write cache off). I'll see if I find the time to do bonnie benchmarks soon. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
