Ok..this produced interesting results. I used the snapshot for todays date. DMESG output as follows: changing root device to fdda0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 da0: <SYMBIOS INF-01-00 0205> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 15), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 34652MB (70969088 512 byte sectors: 255h 63S/T 4417C) rootfs is 2880 Kbyte compiled in MFS da1 at isp0 bus 0 tatrget 0 lun 0 da1: <DEC RZ28M (C) DEC 1004> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 2007MB (4110480 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 255C) What the snapshot detected as da1 is currently da0 (my boot device) in the system now. Am I correct in assuming I can update to this snapshot via cvsup? And if so...what would I use instead of RELENG_3? or is that correct? Other question is why only 20MB transfer rate on a drive capable of 40 (on ahc0)? "Kenneth D. Merry" wrote: > Stephen C.
