It is a scsi 2. normally in linux or windows it takes about 2 hours and 30 mins to restore or backup. I just installed freebsd 4.11 and I started to restore and it has been running for more then 10 hours .. this is my dmesg ahc0: port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xe1811000-0xe1811fff irq 11 at device 12.0 on= pci0 aic7860: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=3D7, 3/253 SCBs Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle sa0: Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device I had to recompile the kernel to support my dual P3 I was wondering if maybe I had to add something in the kernel to speed this up.. thanks.
