port from linkstationwiki.org

New page

1. Install hdparm if you haven't already:

apt-get install hdparm

2. Open up the hdparm configuration file and modify the performance settings:

pico /etc/hdparm.conf

3. Change the default ROOTFS settings to:

ROOTFS = /dev/hda

4. Add the following information at the end of hdparm.conf:

command_line {
hdparm -q<ref>q tells hdparm to change the settings quietly.</ref> -m16<ref>m16 sets the number of sectors to use for IDE block mode (multicount).</ref> -c1<ref>c1 sets I/O support to 32-bit (from 16-bit).</ref> -u1<ref>u1 enables unmasking of interrupts.</ref> -S250<ref>S250 sets a spindown time of 5 hours.</ref> /dev/hda
}

5. Test your old performance settings:

hdparm -tT /dev/hda 

6. Reboot your LinkStation and retest your performance settings. Tada!

7. These particular settings may not always improve performance - try testing different settings.
