Hello: We have a problem here. Our new beowulf is a rack of Compaq DS10L 600 mhz alphas with ide drives. We're running Red Hat 6.2. The problem is that we can only get ~2.5 mbytes/second disk i/o - as reported by hdparm -tT . This has been fairly common with our intel systems but I could always adjust the hdparm parameters and do much better. ( 10 - 25 mbyte/sec depending on the drive ) With these machines no parameters have any effect. Has anyone else seen this problem? Does anyone have a fix that doesn't involve SCSI? Thanks... mel jones
