Server with Intel SHG2 board, servervorks CSB5 rev. 93: After
upgrade from kernel 2.6.22 (IDE serverworks driver) to 2.6.25
(Fedora 9: libata+pata_serverworks driver), SW RAID1 performance
is very bad. Problem is probably with secondary IDE channel,
which has disabled DMA:

# hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
  Timing cached reads:   828 MB in  2.00 seconds = 414.26 MB/sec
  Timing buffered disk reads:  210 MB in  3.01 seconds =  69.83 MB/sec

# hdparm -Tt /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
  Timing cached reads:   408 MB in  2.00 seconds = 203.72 MB/sec
  Timing buffered disk reads:    6 MB in  3.05 seconds =   1.96 MB/sec

dmesg output:
...

scsi_mod              120948  4 sg,sr_mod,libata,sd_mod

It's some sort of pata_serverworks bug, or is needed any special
setup for this driver to work?
What is "simplex DMA" term?

Thanks, Franta Hanzlik
