I even installed Linux and tested it and always get the same results: With 320MB/s there are problems. With 160 MB/s there are now problems. FreeBSD-wise I would say: "fixed" (meeaning there was not a problem). > any suggestion about this? Yes, we're gonna talk a little to Infortrend, while buying nice U320 hardware and getting something that does only work as U160 is not nice. For some time I can still live with U160, but when I start upgrading capacities here it will make a difference in the number of SCSI channels needed. Funny, in the Infortrend FAQ you find a lot of "How do I downgrade Controler XXX from 320 MB/s to 160 MB/s", but they never tell you, why you should do that. But reading this you get the feeling, they know about this problem. - Oliver -- | Oliver Brandmueller | Offenbacher Str. 1 | Germany D-14197 Berlin | | Fon +49-172-3130856 | Fax +49-172-3145027 | WWW: http://the.addict.de/ | | Ich bin das Internet.
