mfiutil cache?
I am a bit confused with the output I get: # mfiutil cache mfid0 mfi0 volume mfid0 cache settings: I/O caching: disabled write caching: write-back read ahead: always drive write cache: default As you can see from above I/O caching is disabled. but I have write caching: write-back. What should I understand from the output? Is my write caching enabled with WB or ? I have a battery on my raid card too.

chromium producing constant hdd access
hi there, i noticed chromium is producing a lot of hdd activity. i think it writes every 1kb of new data directly to disk or so. is there a way to increase chromiums download buffer somehow. firefox or opera seem to have a much larger download buffer and write bigger chunks to disk. thus they produce a lot less hdd writes per second. has anybody experienced the same behavior? cheers. alex -- a13x ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I am locked out and I need access to the account so I can make a DNS change. My experience was also maddening and for several days, all I got was that ...we'll get back to you within 24 hours but they didn't respond at all for several days. They had sent me a link that was supposed to reset my password, but it returned an error as well. Thanks to this list, Dan of zoneedit responded and fixed things. I got in immediately thereafter using a fresh link to reset my password to the new platform. Glad Dan monitors this list. Alas, though now I'm getting an avalance of more robot responses to my many earlier cries for help. It makes me nervous that another on staffer may mess up things -- so, I keep logging in. All is still okay on the new platform so far. While the new platform looks a bit more flashy can't say I like it any better (yet). Another response to my post was from Pierre who said: ...The legacy platform seems to still work for me: http://legacy.zoneedit.com I had sent some money though to have free service for my existing domains forever Apparently Pierre's account just hasn't been migrated to the new platform and the old legacy sit still works. Mine had been migrated to the new but apparently with errors as it didn't recognize my email address which has been on the old site for 9+ years. The pay ahead didn't have anything do do with it. I've also carried a sizable advance paid balance of unused credits. Mike, maybe Dan will help you too. Also, perhaps my experience will be useful for others. For almost a decade, this is the first time I've had a problem, while I was alarmed and fummed at the lack of response this time, all is well again for me.
