Cc: msmith@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Is there any way or any advantage to building in the twe driver into the kernel, or is it best to always load it as a module ? I just got a 4port 3ware control and am testing it with a couple of Maxtor 40gig hard drives. Also, built as a RAID0 stripe, newgranite# dmesg | grep twe twe0: <3ware Storage Controller> port 0xe000-0xe00f irq 11 at device 12.0 on pci0 twed0: <3ware RAID unit> on twe0 twed0: 78163MB (160078336 sectors) RAID 255 (unknown) newgranite# Should it recognize it as RAID 0 ? BTW, a quick test gave me the following results on a Celeron with 384M of RAM with ahc0: port 0xd400-0xd4ff mem 0xec200000-0xec200fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0 ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random-- -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks--- Machine MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU AtlasIV 600 13492 65.5 13710 24.5 5792 13.9 13676 91.5 13883 17.7 251.3 3.5 twe 600 15337 74.1 29884 59.5 7593 15.8 14667 97.8 34454 32.5 455.2 4.9 Thanks for the cool little driver BTW! ---Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications mike@sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
