Subject: Problems with disc-performance and libata
Hi,
I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad with TOSHIBA MK1234GS HD and MATSHITA
DVD-RAM UJ-850 on 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage
Controller IDE. The Kernel is a 2.6.22.1 from Kernel.org (with 2.6.23-rc1-
and hdaps-queue-freezing-patch).
sudo hdparm -t /dev/scd0 gives
Timing buffered disk reads: 2 MB in 4.47 seconds = 457.75 kB/sec
sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda gives
Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.04 seconds = 33.51 MB/sec
which is a quite poor performance and makes any streaming impossible.
Obviously UDMA is working correctly as dmesg | grep UDMA says:

Is there any solution for that problem or at least a workaround?
I also tried to recompile the kernel as recommended in the official
libata-faq ( http://linux-ata.org/faq.html ) but the system stuck when
booting the root-partition. Booting with combined_mode=libata or
combined_mode=ide didn't affect the performance, too.
Thanks in advance,
Oli
