 |
|
Hello,
Sorry for the weird subject.
I have KDE installed on a IDE drive. My configuration is like this:
Drive 0 Controller = Serial ATA --> Drive 0 (windows installed on it).
Drive 4 Controller = parallel ATA --> Drive 4 (PRI IDE MASTER) for linux
Everything works quite fine, but when i try to burn (DVD) with the k3b application it go's very slow.
Now i'm searching the forum for a solution and i find a lot with people asking the output of:
hdparm /dev/hdX. So i want to see what my system would return.
But i think the command hdparm /dev/DRIVE should be the the harddrive the dvd player is on the same controller with. And my drive that is on the same controller is the drive windows is installed on.
So now i 'm trying to reach that drive, the output of fdisk -f is:
| Code: |
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 5 40131 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 6 255 2008125 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda3 256 7726 60010807+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 7727 10217 20008957+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 7727 10217 20008926 b W95 FAT32

So no sata drive (should be on /dev/sda a gues) in there.
I read on the forum as well that i should enable scsi for sata drives, but where do a put this in the kernel config, i see a lot of scsi things in there(and a lot of 'm enabled already) but what do i have to put on in there to see my sata drive?
Thanks,
btw, is it save too mount a ntfs file system on linux? That could my next question..... |

No, you should make sure that DMA is enabled for your dvdwriter device.

Are you sure? What DVD device have you got? I haven't heard of any SATA DVD writer yet...

You can savely mount ntfs filesystems readonly. Writing support for ntfs is very limited, you can't create new files, you can't delete files, you can only modify existing files if you don't change it's size. So writing support is pretty much useless. If you want to have read/write support to files from both Win and Linux, use a vfat partition. Or use ext3 fs and get a ext3 IFS for Win, eg. this one. |

Hi,
Well for the DMA support, i think it is there:
| Code: |
hdparm /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb:
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
|
I 'm not sure what the 'HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument' means.
And how can i make the sata drive visible? Since it isn't comming up in the fdisk -l command?
Thanks |

"fdisk -l" lists the partitions mentioned in /proc/partitions. Check if you've got any SATA devices in /dev (e.g. /dev/sd*) and if you can mount them. If not, check your kernel config. |

Hi,
I think the burning problem is solved, i was using a RW-CDROM wich was broken i think, i tried it with a R-CDROM and it went like a charm.
But now for the sata drive:
| Code: |
ls -l /dev/sd
sda1 sda12 sda15 sda4 sda7 sdb sdb11 sdb14 sdb3 sdb6 sdb9 sdc10 sdc13 sdc2 sdc5 sdc8 sdd1 sdd12 sdd15 sdd4 sdd7
sda10 sda13 sda2 sda5 sda8 sdb1 sdb12 sdb15 sdb4 sdb7 sdc sdc11 sdc14 sdc3 sdc6 sdc9 sdd10 sdd13 sdd2 sdd5 sdd8
sda11 sda14 sda3 sda6 sda9 sdb10 sdb13 sdb2 sdb5 sdb8 sdc1 sdc12 sdc15 sdc4 sdc7 sdd sdd11 sdd14 sdd3 sdd6 sdd9

I can't mount any of those blockdivices. I cannot open them with fdisk as well.
Where in the kernel do i put the support for sata drives, as far as i know i put annything in it conceirning SATA drives?
Thanks. |
