Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.68 Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I know there was recently a grumble about having stock recipies for kernal configurations, but I had an actual question, or rather, a request for pointers: I'm planning on putting together a monster file server (a half-Gig of memory or more, many Gig worth of drives) and was curious about peoples' suggestions about tuning the kernal to avoid various bottlenecks. It's only a P-133 triton II motherboard, and I'm planning on two PCI SCSI adaptors, but I've made no decisions or specifics beyond that. I am subscribed to -hackers, but feel free to respond to me directly.
