To bring everyone up to date: We built the machine and installed FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE yesterday, it's an ASUS mobo with Athlon 750 processor, 256M RAM and dual 29160N controllers to 2 IBM 18G Ultra160 drives. On the first installation attempt, the machine hung during file copy. We tweaked the SCSI bios to use 80MB/sec transfer instead of 160MB/sec. The install went fine as well as a kernel build (woohoo - fast!) and everything seems to be just dandy now. The machine will be installed in the client's facil in a test config today and run that way ~2 weeks before going into live production. I'll post again with details if it gives us any probs. The machine will be a SQL server for a medical records system running MySQL.

This is interesting. Yes, theoretically a single 19160N should be able to do 160MB/sec. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
