The exact ISO download location. Bcos, I am always confused which one of 6.0 is perfect or good. If at all I am upgrading, how should I do. Thanx again for the feedback. Can I use Raisefs/XFS in Read and Write mode in 6.0 I know I am asking for more. Cheers, Deepak Naidu. --- "Andrew P." wrote: > On 10/15/05, Deepak Naidu > wrote: > > Hi, > > I am running FreeBSD 5.4 on SunFire v20 on > single > > hard disk 73 GB... > > > > I googled down some links regarding increasing IO > > performance.
