Comment 20 for bug 96693

Hi all,
       I did all the 3 given above, the last one gives :-

 /dev/sdb1:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
shirish@ubuntu ~> sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/sdb2

/dev/sdb2:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

 Guess would have try it to from Live CD or something or am I missing something?

 Anyway here's the output after doing all the above :-

sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
 Timing cached reads: 558 MB in 2.01 seconds = 278.15 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 82 MB in 3.03 seconds = 27.08 MB/sec

 Don't see much of a difference from before.
