I know the usual complaint is, it's not fast enough. My question is, after doing much googling - mail archive reading, is there a way to slow the file transfer speed down? I've asked the list before about a rebooting problem I have on this box, & it's still here, but now only when I transfer large files from another box. I thought for a while, it might be something with the XP system on another box, but the same problem exists when I try it from my FreeBSD box. I've fought with the BIOS settings for weeks now, & once thought I had the problem fixed. Later, my friend, unbeknownst to me & thinking he was helping, tried tweaking the BIOS some more, before I had a chance to write down all the settings. Since, I have not been able to duplicate a problem free incoming NFS file transfer, unless it's a small file. Anything over 6-8MB & down she goes. I can, on the other hand, mount exported shares from my XP or FreeBSD boxes and copy really large files to them from this OpenBSD box. I've swapped cables, to no avail. I've checked the hd, the simms, everything showing okay. I have the proper cable on the hd, 80 pin. Dmesg shows it using Ultra DMA 66. I'll include the dmesg at end of message. Several times in the past, the box rebooted too, when updating the locate database, or when running fsck. That seems to have disappeared since making some changes in the BIOS, the most important one being, according to some BIOS/reboot problems I read about on Google, getting the cmos clock & the os clock synced properly. I'm now using /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC instead of Central like before. Thanks for any help I can get on this. I really tried to solve this before asking for help. Right now, can't afford another box, mobo, etc. Everything else on here works great. Cvsup, rebuilding kernel & userland, & so forth.
