Where Is Real-Time Linux? (TechNewsWorld)
TCQ helps, but is not avery useable on standard IDE drives from what I've seen of comments on the kernel list, apparently it's implementation is not really standard enough to use.
apparently SATA drives are significantly better.
unfortunantly becouse of all the horrible IDE drives out there the default settings result in fairly poor performance, if you hook the same drives up to a really good controller (say the 3ware boards which claim to be SCSI to the kernel) you end up with significantly better performance so the problem isn't the IDE drives themselves as much as the driver interface and defaults nessasary to make things work reliably under all conditions.
