Subject:   [help] 3.2-stable LVD transfer rate drop to 11.xxx MB/s???

Dear Sir:

  I've upgraded my 3.1R box to 3.2 due to the kernel panic under
  heavy load. Now it's all done, and I reboot the box, then I
  found my LVD disks' tranfer rate becomes:

da0 at ahc1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <SEAGATE ST34573LW 5766> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 11.626MB/s transfers (5.813MHz, offset 15, 16bit)
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
da0: 4340MB (8888924 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 553C)

  This is very funny, compared to 3.1R:

da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <SEAGATE ST34573LW 5766> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: 80.0MB/s transfers (40.0MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!
da0: 4340MB (8888924 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 553C)

  I'm using the GENERIC kernel now, and both 3.1R/3.2 has detected the
  SCSI controller sucessfully during boot:

ahc0: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 10 on
pci0.12.0
ahc0: aic7896/97 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs
ahc1: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 10 on
pci0.12.1
ahc1: aic7896/97 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs

  Should I do something to 'fix' the transfer rate and the tagged 
  queue option? 

  The controller is expansive, the LVD disk is expansive, even the
  LVD cable is expansive - this setting makes me very upset....:(

  Thanks for your help.

  Regards.
