I recalled seeing it mentioned on the lists here, and he was talking about tweaking newsserver performance etc and I mentioned that someone was talking about turning off ATIME updates.

Of course, two weeks later he got his DPT in and it didn't matter if ATIMEs were being written or not. > > Nowhere near the > > improvements he got when he went RAID via DPT, but still, it was worth it. > > I want a DPT driver for FreeBSD... if I had money, I would PAY someone to > do it... but I don't have money. :-( Say...
