Hello!
I have a freebsd box with an (in)famous Abit BE6-II board. It has a built-in HPT controller in addition to a general one (440BX chipset). The HPT handles drives of any sizes, the general one handled anything up to around 120Gb. I was amazed when I tried to put a 200Gb drive on the common controller, set it to none in the BIOS and freebsd saw every single byte of it. Should I praise Soren (forgive me for my spelling) or anybody else :-)?
Anyways, when I tried to copy files from another 200Gb drive which was on the HPT the speed was fairly high (15-17Mb), but kinda limited. I looked at the CPU load - and it was around 65%. I'm a freebsd novice - could somebody please tell me how to tune DMA parameters?
Best wishes, Andrew P. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
