We apparently now know how to get DMA working on those SATA drives, thanks the combination of a BIOS tweak and Ricky Beam's magical kernel concoctions.
Should we make it a priority when I get to the colo today to get DMA working on all of the other 1U boxes? It's important because I will be out of town for a month, so if we don't do it now, we will not be able to do it until much later.
(Actually, Michael could come in and help with it, but that's a bit more difficult since he's not familiar with the setup as much as I am.)
We need someone onsite to do it, because of the required BIOS tweak.
