Greets,

So I was shuffling disks around in the Sharks this weekend, after buying a
nice new Toshiba 2Gb drive for one, to replace an old Toshiba 200Mb drive
which was moved to the other Shark. (I didn't just swap Sharks, since one
has much worse video swim ;-).

Anyhow, I threw a recent -current kernel on both and had no problems with
the new drive; ~2Mb/s through the FS. However, the older 200Mb drive manages
only ~40Kb/s! I downgraded this machine to a kernel with the MD wdc driver,
and it works fine. Bizarre or what?

Now, I know next to nothing about IDE drives and the wdc driver, so I'm at a
loss to explain what gives here. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on
your point of view ;), I also don't have a PeeCee so I can't try this drive
under NetBSD/i386 to see if it's just a Shark-related problem.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Steve
