Ah, thanks, with a quick test;

[darryl at cascade darryl]$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/hda2

/dev/hda2:
  Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  2.61 seconds = 24.52 MB/sec
[darryl at cascade darryl]$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/hda1

/dev/hda1:
  Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  3.01 seconds = 21.26 MB/sec
[darryl at cascade darryl]$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda6

/dev/sda6:
  Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 14.77 seconds =  4.33 MB/sec
[darryl at cascade darryl]$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda5

/dev/sda5:
  Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 10.50 seconds =  6.10 MB/sec


Looks like he SCSI drive is a little slow !!!!

Maybe time to pull it out (or see whats wrong)

Thanks
