hdparm /dev/hda3 yields...
/dev/hda3:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 65535/16/63, sectors = 25607610, start
= 51311610
Not sure what the settings should be. I've seen
several articles that suggest the default settings
should be changed but to what?
