Hi, I had an instal of FreeBSD-3 on my machine which booted Linux or FreeBSD. Yesterday I decided to scrub the Linux and also go back to 2.2.2-RELEASE. Now my machine slows to a crawl on disk access (in biowait on top). And some programs refuse to return e.g. ps. dmesg on the disks gives: >wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa >wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3840A> >wd0: 3681MB (7539840 sectors), 7480 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S df -k gives: >Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on >/dev/wd0a 394495 39314 323622 11% / >/dev/wd0s3e 2714254 1075335 1421779 43% /usr >/dev/wd0s4e 429839 7522 387930 2% /var >procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc So the question is, is this a result of going back to 2.2.2 or is it the large partions ? Regards, Dave.
