Re: won't work: 2.6.0 && SiI 3112 SATA

Question (for Jeff ?) :

Why is my drive (with 2.4.23 and libata2) on /dev/sda ? Why isn't it on /dev/hde, like (afaik) everybody else ? I'd like to run hdparm to improve performance (hdparm -tT gives ~ 20 Mb/s)

I am not Jeff but, SATA is embedded SCSI infrastructure, thus you get sda device.
Performace is so bad because of workaround for Seagate drives (max 15kb/transfer or alike). HDParm won't help you.
