Would that it was so simple: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
hdparm /dev/hda |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
/dev/hda: |
| 43 |
multcount = 16 (on) |
| 44 |
IO_support = 1 (32-bit) |
| 45 |
unmaskirq = 1 (on) |
| 46 |
using_dma = 1 (on) |
| 47 |
keepsettings = 0 (off) |
| 48 |
readonly = 0 (off) |
| 49 |
readahead = 256 (on) |
| 50 |
geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 80060424192, start = 0 |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
hdparm /dev/hdb |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
/dev/hdb: |
| 55 |
multcount = 16 (on) |
| 56 |
IO_support = 1 (32-bit) |
| 57 |
unmaskirq = 1 (on) |
| 58 |
using_dma = 1 (on) |
| 59 |
keepsettings = 0 (off) |
| 60 |
readonly = 0 (off) |
| 61 |
readahead = 256 (on) |
| 62 |
geometry = 16383/255/63, sectors = 82348277760, start = 0 |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
hdparm /dev/hdc |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
/dev/hdc: |
| 67 |
IO_support = 1 (32-bit) |
| 68 |
unmaskirq = 1 (on) |
| 69 |
using_dma = 1 (on) |
| 70 |
keepsettings = 0 (off) |
| 71 |
readonly = 0 (off) |
| 72 |
readahead = 256 (on) |
| 73 |
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument |

But thanks; I wouldn't have thought to check/confirm that DMA was |
| 89 |
(still) on. |
