Subject: sata_promise / libata defaulting to UDMA/33
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2006 00:31:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060803163002.M27080@liquid-nexus.net> (raw)
Hi.
I'm having great difficulty solving a problem I've encountered. I have a
Promise Fastrak TX4000 card:
0000:00:08.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20619 (FastTrak
TX4000) (rev 02)
Subsystem: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20619 (FastTrak TX4000)
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 96, IRQ 137
For some strange reason all drives are set to UDMA/33 mode when the module is
loaded and I haven't found a way of changing the UDMA mode (hdparm -X doesn't
work: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Input/output error).
Extract from dmesg:
libata version 1.20 loaded.

I'm currently running kernel 2.6.17.3. In the controller's BIOS I've created 3
'stripe' arrays with 1 disk per array, the BIOS shows the 3 drives as U5 (UDMA
mode 5 - which is UDMA/100 right?).
I've searched high and low but haven't found an answer to this problem. Help
appreciated. Please - I'm getting dismal performance.
Regards,
