Custom Query (34 matches)

When I build Firefox, I usually have gmake run two processes in parallel ('-j2') and it takes 38 minutes. With NCQ enabled, it takes 45 minutes. I just tried a build running four processes ('-j4'). Without NCQ, it took 33 minutes; with NCQ, it was 39.5 minutes.

I frequently use the "deltree" util to delete my entire build tree which has 100,000(?) files in several thousand directories. With NCQ, it is noticeably slower (almost painfully slow).

The system:

• Intel DG43GT board with a "G43 Express" chipset including an 82801JIB I/O controller ("ICH10")
• Core2 Quad @ 2.5gnz with VT (Q8300 SLGUR)
• 2gb memory
• Seagate ST3500418AS 500gb drive using JFS with a 64mb cache
• eCS 2.0 using os2ahci.add copied from my 2.1 installation

Same type issue as ticket #9 ​http://svn.ecomstation.nl/ahci/ticket/9 Enable AHCI in the BIOS results in the same message as the picture there has: OS/2 is unable to operate your hard disk or diskette drive, The system is stopped. Correct the preceding error and restart the system. This was true with the version that shipped with eCS 2.1 (1.12) as well as with 1.19 that I built from SVN. I will also attach a diff I tried too, but it did not help.

I tried to manually enable my intel N10/ICH7 controller, but

BASEDEV=os2ahci.add /g:8086:27c0

failed with

missing colon (:) afer /:

error at boot.

This controller is supposed to be also AHCI, but the server bios does not have an entry to enable it, so only sata currently works. this is a Dell poweredge SC440 server.
