With some new (working) ram in the box, and root on hda; sata_sil
gave pretty consistent 29 MB/sec as an auxiliary sda disk, mounted,
remounted, unmounted, verified 29.50 +/- .40 MB/sec, consistently.

However, when I boot with root on sda, I get better performance (?), up
to 41MB/sec and consistently in the 30s; with x and many daemons (but
unloaded)...

Timing buffered disk reads: 100 MB in 3.05 seconds = 32.74 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 112 MB in 3.04 seconds = 36.84 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 114 MB in 3.01 seconds = 37.82 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 104 MB in 3.02 seconds = 34.48 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 110 MB in 3.00 seconds = 36.64 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 94 MB in 3.01 seconds = 31.19 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 88 MB in 3.01 seconds = 29.25 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 90 MB in 3.06 seconds = 29.37 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 88 MB in 3.01 seconds = 29.23 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 108 MB in 3.03 seconds = 35.70 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 120 MB in 3.04 seconds = 39.47 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 88 MB in 3.00 seconds = 29.30 MB/sec

(more or less random intervals, at least 5 seconds apart), this
is running a bk kernel checked out June 28. I've written up to 200Gb
to this disk and built a workstation on it, no errors.

Thanks!
// George
