This is from a standard Mandrake 9.2 installation: # hdparm -c -d /dev/hda /dev/hda: IO_support = 1 (32-bit) using_dma = 1 (on) Tom On Fri, 2004-01-23 at 14:14, Jeffrey Stedfast wrote:
perhaps your drive isn't in 32bit mode w/ DMA hdparm -c -d /dev/<drive> what does that say? you might need to rebuild your kernel with support for these if you don't already.

By contrast, when the status bar says "retrieving messages..." (or is it "fetching messages...") this does not block other activity. - Jesse __________________________ On Thu, 2004-01-22 at 06:27, Jeffrey Stedfast wrote:connecting to the smtp server and sending the message? the "Saving message to folder" mesg is probably when it is moving the message from Outbox to Sent.

During this time, the status bar at the bottom of the window says something like "Saving message to folder...". After that it leaves my outbox quickly. All my folders, settings, home directory, etc. are on fast local disk, I have 512 MB RAM, etc. Spellcheck is disabled. It always behaves like this when I send messages, and it happens even if I have only 1 or 2 addresses in the "To:" list. Is this to be expected, or is there something wrong? What's it doing that takes so long? - Jesse _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution lists ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution_______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution lists ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
