Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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: 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: 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: rev 0x00 int a irq 10 on pci0.12.0 ahc0: aic7896/97 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc1: 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.
