I used everyone's advice, now that I have a day off and my system is so fast, that I'm running Gentoo exclusivley.
This is what I did.
1. Added the low latency and preemptible options to my kernel.
2. hdparm -u1 -c1 -d1 -W1 -k1 /dev/hdb
and PA-DOW I've never seen my system run so fast in linux.
Thanks!!!!!!
Jocco. |

| Quote: | -u Get/set interrupt-unmask flag for the drive. A
setting of 1 permits the driver to unmask other
interrupts during processing of a disk interrupt,
which greatly improves Linux's responsiveness and
eliminates "serial port overrun" errors. Use this
feature with caution: some drive/controller combi-
nations do not tolerate the increased I/O latencies
possible when this feature is enabled, resulting in
massive filesystem corruption. |
be careful. |

hi, I added the hdparm to /etc/init.d/hdparm and I think the system is more responsive now. No more jerky mouse pointer. I already had -d -c -u, but the other ones seemed to help...I have preempt on, if the problem is still there maybe I'll have to disable that too...
