To boost performance, I am just thinking that should I configure and rebuild FreeBSD KERNEL for this hardware? And if so, what paramters I should follow? Any help would be highly appreciated. Server's hardware configuration is as follow: 2 x Quad Core Xeon E5450 3.0GHz,2x6MB,1333FSB 16GB (8x2GB Dual Rank DIMMs) 667MHz FBD 6 x 450GB SAS 15k 3.5" HD Hot Plug PERC 6/i, Integrated Controller Card x6 backplane PE2950 III C5 MSS R10 Add-in PERC 5/i / 6/i 1 S TCP/IP Offload Engine 2P Broadcom TCP/IP Offload Engine functionality (TOE) Not Enabled Thank you guys.
