For all you Spark IDE users what settings are you ising for HDparm, Im looking to bump performance a bit on my Ultra5.
Ive checked out http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2000/06/29/hdparm.html but wondered what settings you guys use.

You cant kick out that much more performance of the Ultra 5 IDE Interface as its limited to ~16.7 MByte/s.
I removed this bottleneck from my Ultra by adding a SCSI controller and 2 SCSI disks ($20 for the controller, $180 for both disks) |
