I inheritted a machine which the Raid was setup for "Linux". It is a 3 disk Raid 5 SCSI. I notice sometimes the machine seems to stop for a second when I am doing some work on the command line. The machine does seem to be faster now than when Linux was installed (based on time it takes to do some PostgreSQL work), but I am wondering if having the Raid configured for Linux is not causing slowdowns. FreeBSD is not listed as a possible setting on the Compaq Raid setup disk. I can't understand why compaq would list OSs on it's Raid settings instead of just having parameters one could use. Whatever adjustements they do based on the OS selected should just be adjustable so the user can adjust to whatever they need/want. Maybe they could just have "templates", but ultimately let the user decide. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
