Checking Disk access time

1. using command:
hdparm -tT /dev/sda

sda being the device you want to check access speed of. The two speeds that appear as output are: 1. The speed of cache access. 2. The actual disk reads speed.


2. In case we need more description on device, fire:
 hdparm -I /dev/sda

Investigate hdparm --help for more options on disk eg. the drive geometry (-g)

How to remove kernel module!!

The two major commands we would need are lsmod and rmmod.
lsmod lists all the kernel module.

and that rmmod directly deletes the kernel module. But more often the system gets stuck.. The best way is to grep for modules and rm -rf it.

find / -name   -print 

I got trouble with sk98lin ..network driver...

As I play more around modules.. the post will be updated.
