Actually my problem with big writes was the bk kernel I downloaded was a rev too early (2.6.7-bk7 ?). I tested the sata_sil.c version from June 25 (via bk checkout) extensively and had no problem... posted my results then, hdparm reported ~42 - 51 MB/sec, and never a write block. Today I try putting 2.6.8.1 on the box and I'm getting ~14 MB/sec, the drive has been added to the sil_blacklist. Why? What did I miss? I've taken my drive out of the black list, abused it with 5 continuous writes and "top id 0" no problem after 58Gb. I'm doing it again this time simultaneously with a massive rm -rf of backup directories. I really don't anticipate a problem. So what's up with /*{ "ST3160023AS", SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE },*/ before it got in there, it was said the black list "would not grow" (for unexplained reasons). // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator Linux BSD IXOYE http://galis.org/george/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:george@galis.org - 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/
