Peter is right Mike, That card that you have only has 4 megs of cache. Assuming that you are running Tru64 you can get much better results with LSM. Also you can then crank up the ADVFS cache% to 30 . But never mind............ you are doing this for FreeBSD development so I will just shut up now. -----Mike -----Original Message----- From: Peter Jeremy [mailto:peter.jeremy@alcatel.com.au] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2000 8:07 PM To: Mike Smith Cc: alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Digital KZPCA setup, help required On 2000-Mar-10 11:40:07 +1100, Mike Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.ORG> wrote: >I'm trying to set up a Digital KZPCA (single channel RAID controller) My commiserations. I've come to the conclusion that s/w RAID is a better choice (at least with Tru64). >So; has anyone actually set one of these animals up? I've used the RCU on a AS4100 with a local display. It went as per the book: - switch to ARC (AlphaBIOS) - Select `Run a program' from the `Boot menu' - Enter "A:RA200RCU" (without quotes) as the program to run. That should give you the main menu. Presumably, you run the firmware loader the same way.
