I tried using softdep as a mount parameter and i get better performance
only during write phase.
I want to know the exact parameters to give in kernel config.
Actually,I use the following:
flags 0x01 for wdc0 controller
and
flags 0x0cf0 for drives.
this should means :
0xc = Use Ultra DMA mode 4 (i suppose that mode 4 stand for UltraDMA 66)
0xf = Disable DMA
0x0 = Disable PIO Modes
Is it correct? (in order to use UDMA 66)
Thank you!
