I was sceptical about this since the drive is idle (or even switched off
again) but I recompiled EHCI modular and rmmodding ehci_hcd does in fact
bring back my 50 MB/s:
: hdparm -t /dev/hda = 50 MB/s
1. modprobe ehci_hcd : hdparm -t /dev/hda = 50 MB/s
2. switch on USB2 drive : hdparm -t /dev/hda = 42 MB/s
3. switch off USB drive : hdparm -t /dev/hda = 42 MB/s
4. modprobe -r ehci_hcd : hdparm -t /dev/hda = 50 MB/s
There would not seem to be any extra DMA load with a drive that's idle
or switched off again though? Is the (VIA) USB2 controller playing bus
monopolizing tricks or something sinister like that? (the speed doesn't
drop immediately after loading ehci_hcd though, only after switching on
the USB2 HDD)
More detail --- it's a VIA VT6212L EHCI controller, on unshared IRQ3.
IDE0 is AMD756 on unshared IRQ14/15. The USB2 HDD does 30 MB/s (after a
hdparm -a 1024; with the default 256 it's 25MB/s) which I did think was
a very good speed.
lspci -vv attached, in case it's useful.
Many thanks in advance to anyone for any additional insight...
Rene.
