Hi,

I recently switched to FreeBSD 4.3 and I've got a
quite strange problem: while downloading a file on my
local network trough the commandline FTP client my PC
start to become very slow (almost freezes) when the
transfer rate is around 800 Ko/s, but everything
becomes normal again at the end of the file transfer.

According to the TOP command I did not notice any
process using too much CPU or memory so I think it
comes from the Hard drive being saturated
(particularly the led of the hardrive stayed always on
during the file tranfer). 

Hardware : IBM 14Go on HPT366 controller. The
downloaded file was written on a mounted dos partition
of the same hard drive.

What should I do to avoid this problem ? 



Regards,

Michel Hunsicker
