That's my harddrive information, what would be a fast but safe setting for it, i don't understand that info above much. right now my hdparm setting is:
| Quote: | /dev/hda:
setting fs readahead to 256
setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1
setting multcount to 16
setting unmaskirq to 1 (on)
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
setting drive read-lookahead to 1 (on)
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
readahead = 256 (on) |

Looks like your kernel is set up properly. In that case there isn't much you can improve. The kernel uses all extensions it can find by default, if the kernel is set up to do so, and in your case it is.
