 |
|
I got this strange result after I installed Western Digital 1200JB 120G 8M HD:
| Code: |
hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: -428 MB in 0.00 seconds = -inf kB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: -214 MB in 0.00 seconds = -inf kB/sec
Hmm.. suspicious results: probably not enough free memory for a proper test.
|
and I'm sure I've enough mem:
| Code: | free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 502 490 11 0 41 233
-/+ buffers/cache: 215 286
Swap: 964 0 964
|
What's wrong with it? Please kindly help!  |
