One more thing, install HDPARM if you have no already done so.
You will need to edit the /etc/hdparm.conf file once you have installed
the package.
There are plenty of resources on the web regarding how to tune your hard
disks for best performance using hdparm.
If you just want the best values first time (with all best performance
and DMA) then edit the file with the following settings (one entry per disk)
command_line {
hdparm -d1 -u1 -m16 -c3 -W1 /dev/hda
}
In place of /dev/hda you need to change that to whatever your hard disk
reference on your system is. From what you've posted it appears you
might be using SATA emulation or something like that because I would
have expected your hard disk to be hda by default in etch. If you are
using some kind of SATA hack then hdparm won't be able to help you.
