In-Reply-To: <200004051218.IAA09904@stiegl.niksun.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Very interesting. See kern/17153. This carries over, btw, to NetBSD as well. I have a theory about the problem for the Qlogic controller, but I don't know if the same theory would apply to the Adaptec- maybe not because the bonnie numbers are different.
