Slow copying files from cdrom

[yartz]

I mount cdrom and when I start copying files from there it comes about ~1MB/sec.

It looks like it pisses in all mounted devices. When I mount window shares and copy files there it's very very slow. And that's not network.

What could be the problem? I think it worked fine with old kernel and these problems came when I compiled 2.4.9 kernel. Maybe I missed something in configuring? I got to test with old old kernel when I have time.

Is DMA enabled on your cdrom and the drive you're copying to? run hdparm /dev/cdrom so see what has been set. Do the same for your harddrive. To set DMA ,run hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom. Don't enable DMA on your harddrive unless it supports it :)
