I've just bought a Tyan K8SD Pro with dual 2GHz cpus, though with the SiS SATA RAID controller which isn't supported. I've got 4 200+Gb drives, two of which I've mirrored using gmirror, but that motherboard also has U320 SCSI support. I don't have any hard data suffice to say its very snappy, looking at the gstatus output its getting perhaps 30Mb per second transfer between drives, but I might have that wrong (and that might be pitiful, I'm not sure). I haven't really benchmarked it to get the full details. I've setup 4 jails to be dev/test/prod environments and a sandboxed Samba server, and all in all its going very well so far. This is my first exposure to an Opteron system, so this isn't so much a recommendation as a "seems damn nice so far" :) Cheers, Joe ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

As for vendors, I've yet to find a stable vendor. I have been working with one vendor trying to get a stable opteron system with 100 + GB RAID and so far have 1 out of 4 systems built for me be reliable and stable (and there were at least 3 motherboard and RAM swapouts on the failing systems too). These were Tyan K8SR (s2881) motherboards, and one was S2882 motherboard. Right now I'm evaluating Sun's opteron offerings for my future needs. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
recomendations please for new freebsd development system
Hi Like the title.. I need to build a new systemsupporting a substantial mysql database application for a development team and also able to provide: 1. fast as possible compile times 2. raid 6 support with 6-10 terabytes of data storage 3. 1 terabyte fast data storage 4. 8G or more of ram 5. excellent graphics performance and capabilities with high quality sound/video supporting dual high resolution monitors and surround sound. 6. Back up facilities for 6-10 terabytes. Would anyone be so bold as to make some recommendations for a reliable motherboard/processor combination on the assumption that this is to be a dual processor system running freebsd 6.0 Thanks in advance david ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
