Subject: Linux 2.6.16 - SATA read performance drop ~50% on Intel 82801GB/GR/GH
Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 01:36:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200604120136.28681.schnaiter@gmx.net> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 11952 bytes --]
Hi,
after upgrading from linux 2.6.15.7 to 2.6.16.2 I noticed an extreme slowdown
of the SATA disks on my system. Writing/reading a 8GB file showed that
reading performes with less than half the speed on 2.6.16 (strangely hdparm
shows almost no difference).
The two affected disks are connected to the Intel 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family)
Serial ATA Controller.
Disks on the Silicon Image/Intel IDE Controllers are not affected.
I didn't have the chance yet to test if this problem also exists on the
Silicon Image SATA Controller.
Please tell me if there is any other useful information I can provide =)
Linux 2.6.15.7
