:>camcontrol or the devstat utilities. Or if they're not, they can probably

:>the NCR driver anyway.

:Yes. CAM has all of the hooks to allow you to set transfer settings,
:tag enables, etc in a controller neutral fashion. Camcontrol should
:get the command line options to set these once we've had a bit to
:catch our breath.
I've played with camcontrol a little and already like it.
:So you haven't mentioned anything about how well your news server is
:holding up with CAM...

As expected, it works :-) I was running CAM on it before for a little
while, so there were no big surprises this time around. CAM's expanded
tag capabilities should allow the machine to scale to higher loads more
smoothly but I don't expect a big boost in performance at low to medium
load levels.
The two remaining OS bugs I'd like to solve are the getblk/pgtblk deadlock,
which occurs about once a week, and the write()/mmap() file corruption.
Both are VM bugs and unrelated to CAM.
We'll see if anything new turns up.
