Re: Harddrive performance tuning

Have you played with hdparm? In partular, io support, dma, readahead,
etc (Use caution and read the manpages - some settings can be harmful to
your hard drive)

Someone else might be able to tell you the things to look for, I've only
ever used it for enabling DMA on DVD drives.
