Fsys.eide busy while writing, VIA-Chipset

Michael_Huebbers · October 24, 2001, 9:08am

Fsys.eide doesn’t work well on a new Motherboard:
Legend Advance 10B with VIA Chipset, 1GHZ Pentium 3

On a pterm we copy a big file with cp.
While cp is active, Fsys.eide blocks periodically other
applications with lower priority.
e.g. the whole display freezes for 0.5 seconds, runs 0.5 seconds and
so on.
If you move the mouse-cursor (in Photon), it is sticky and “jumps” over the screen.
In addition the cp itself is very slow: 900kb/s
The bios reports ATA100.
We tried changing pio and udma modes, new cable, another drive,
removed all other pic-cards, additonal Fsys.eide Options: fsys -d eide -e
With almost no difference.

We don’t see this effect on other EIDE-Systems.

If we do a cp from eide to scsi, Fsys.eide does NOT block other
processes.
Fsys.aha7scsi (Adaptec2940 PCI-card) works perfectly on this pc.

Any hints what we can try ?

cp -V /tmp/t1 /tmp/t2 : only 900kb/s

Hi Michael,

The chipset used is not a supported chipset. So you can use
the eide interface in a generic mode, however it won’t use
DMA or any other special features. So that is why you are
getting bad performance.

If you can, can you move your system to the SCSI interface?

Another thing you could try, is increasing the priority of
Input, and see if that helps.

Erick.

Fsys.eide doesn’t work well on a new Motherboard:
Legend Advance 10B with VIA Chipset, 1GHZ Pentium 3

On a pterm we copy a big file with cp.
While cp is active, Fsys.eide blocks periodically other
applications with lower priority.
e.g. the whole display freezes for 0.5 seconds, runs 0.5 seconds and
so on.
If you move the mouse-cursor (in Photon), it is sticky and “jumps” over the screen.
In addition the cp itself is very slow: 900kb/s
The bios reports ATA100.
We tried changing pio and udma modes, new cable, another drive,
removed all other pic-cards, additonal Fsys.eide Options: fsys -d eide -e
With almost no difference.

We don’t see this effect on other EIDE-Systems.

If we do a cp from eide to scsi, Fsys.eide does NOT block other
processes.
Fsys.aha7scsi (Adaptec2940 PCI-card) works perfectly on this pc.

Any hints what we can try ?

Hi Michael,

The chipset used is not a supported chipset. So you can use
the eide interface in a generic mode, however it won’t use
DMA or any other special features. So that is why you are
getting bad performance.

QNX4 doesn’t support DMA anyway for EIDE. As far
as I know under QNX all eide interface are consider
“generic”.

Hi Erick,

we moved to SCSI for this customer.
Unfortunately there are other customers with the same hardware, who might
get similair problems.

Any chance for Fsys.eide to be enhanced for this chipset ?

I’m not from QNX, but I fairly sure the answer is no.

I can’t say yes or no, on what chipsets we are doing work on with
QNX4. Right now we don’t have it for either QNX4 or QNX6, so
it will be looked at for both.
