hi, I am using 2.2.8. Current I find out that when I copy a large file (>100M= B) to/from DOS (which mounted on /mnt with type msdos), it will hold up the system when I try to access the same hd (IDE), eg. to execute some progra= ms. The system doesn't hang but it seems just wanting for the coping to finis= h. I just wonder is this normal or something wrong with my system. I would a= lso want to know are there any way that make the system more responsive when coping is in progress? Does 3.0 help? Thanks for any comments/hints Wilson ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
