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) :)

Code:
-A1 -d1 -c1 -m16 -u1 -S241 -a64 -X66 -k1 -K1


I don't think you can do much more than that!
