Out of the Blue

I wanted to catch the solar eclipse, but it was surprisingly difficult to find an early flight to Ghana, so I'm just going to have to see it on the news... too bad, I had my little box with a pinhole all set up and everything. Oh well, maybe next time.

Oh... I forgot to mention this. Long, long ago (a few weeks) I mentioned that I was getting poor performance on a couple of the drives in my server. Well, I finally got to stick in another IDE card (making for 2 + the MB IDE) and moved the drives around.

The original master went from ~20 MB/s to ~40 MB/s (secondary IDE channel on MB).

The slave went from ~20 MB/s to ~55 MB/s (primary channel on new MB).

Lesson? Master/slave on parallel ATA sucks. Don't do it. I know most of us knew this already, but that's a rather dramatic change.
