Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm seeing a bit of a problem with a PT2000 board with a P5-90 in it, (now a PT2003 with a P100), and am wondering if disabling the PCI concurrency/streaming/burst parameters could have a noticeable affect on performance? More specifically, does FreeBSD take advantage of these capabilities? I'm seeing a corrupted filesystem fairly regularly, yet I've swapped hardware and RAM, so I think it's more a BIOS setting issue. But I don't want to wander around changing settings that make no difference. Any tip appreciated. Card are a SMC etherpower 100, 2940-UW, 2940, and some crappy PCI video card. 64MB's RAM, freebsd-current.
