Re: [cobalt-users] Qube3 - Speed Increase

[Sonny Taite <sonny@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm copy and paste seems to be prone to typo's as well ;-) -- oh well it
gives me a chance to give you a decent quick guide:

As root, run the command:

/sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/hda

(take note of the disk read speed ratings)

Then run:

/sbin/hdparm -X66 -d1 -m16 -c3 /dev/hda

Now run (again):

/sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/hda

Nice aye - now you can hack together an rc script as detailed below.
