![]() To see whether or not DMA is enabled, try copying a file from one place to another on a BFS partition if Pulse displays a high usage, and the transfer is slow (less than 4 megs/second) then DMA is probably not enabled. Search for tips about Forcing DMA, or install the IDE replacement drivers. Note: if your FAT (or, for that matter, BFS) file system access is typically slow anyway, then you may not have DMA enabled. If you’ve ever experienced an intermittent, massive slowdown when accessing (and in particular writing to) FAT (16/32) partitions, which seems to crop up randomly, but has something to do with the number of partitions mounted, then you’re probably the latest victim of the blocksize problem. Planning on making a BFS partition or larger image file for BeOS to reside on? Or perhaps you’ve already made one, and now have a new, intermittent problem, which makes your computer’s FAT file system access too slow to be bearable causing the processor usage to go through the roof, while you transfer data at the thrilling speeds of down to 128 kilobytes per second! ![]()
