On a vanilla 2.6.12 kernel, I get: 60MB/s for hdparm -t /dev/sd[a|b] (on an Intel ICH7 SATA controller). 30MB/s for hdparm -t /dev/hda (Intel ICH7)While on the xen dom0 kernel, I get 20MB/s for all three devices. I confirm that DMA is enabled for the PATA hard disk. I don't know how to check that for the SATA hard disks, but I assume that they're on DMA mode too. Xen is compiled with the following: xen_changeset : Fri Dec 9 11:05:06 2005 +0000 8311:53cff3f88e45 cc_compiler : gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)The dom0 kernel is compiled with almost the same options as the vanilla kernel, barring the xen-exclusive and nonxen-exclusive options. Does anyone else face similar problems? -- Regards, wK (www.doubleukay.com) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users |
