Note that using different slices may change your results. All modern disks are faster near the outside (start of the disk) then the inside (I get more than 50% increase from inside to outside on one system). A second disk is OK as long as it's the same type of disk running at the same transfer rate. -- Peter Jeremy _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
