The command you want is hdparm. For instance, 'hdparm /dev/hda' will
show you stats on your primary IDE drive. It will show you if DMA is
being used; I've had trouble determining if UDMA is enabled. Maybe
new versions are more clear about that.
hdparm can also be used to set options. You'll want to read the man page.
