I have an Adaptec 2410SA raid controller with RAID 1 configured on it.
The system is an AMD ATHLON 1800 CPU. With FC4 updated distro.

The system is working fine, but TOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW.

Taking a view into startup messages I can see:

sda: got wrong page
sda: assuming drive cache: write through

In dmesg:

...
AAC0: kernel 4.1-0[5934]
AAC0: monitor 4.1-0[5934]
AAC0: bios 4.1-0[5934]

I think changing write through into write back cache will solve the problem.

The controller utility was used to configure all caches in the drivers.

Any help about this topic?

Thanks
