You are absolutely correct. My troubleshooting skills for things of this nature are pretty bad.

There was a very small problem. My old mobo has 2 nics. I cabled up the wrong cable. I would very much like to pretend something, anything, otherwise. But the truth of it is that I was plugged in with the wrong cable. > But I suppose this won't change anything.

I'm paranoid about flashing the BIOS. I just don't want to introduce a new issue. However, I should really do just that. I'll have to look into how to boot off a thumb drive to do it. It appears that the 1401 BIOS was just released on 2008-04-24. > Lastly, could there be a bug in the build 86 > regarding the nge driver?

I'll check throughput numbers and post back here with the results. rick This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
