I have tried tuning as per wiki on sparc64 and i386 compatible servers but still hit problems and erratic kernel hangs. My advise -- stick to UFS wrapped in goem goodness. /Craig ============================================================ This email has been handled by lerwick.hopto.org mail server and has been scanned by 3 virus killers and spamassassin ============================================================
