I tried both cam and bio -- no difference. It is not that it's slow -- I was prepared for that, it is that it totally hangs -- forever. I narrowed it down to softupdates. If I disable the softupdates on the cartridge's filesystem copying finishes successfully. Somehow the `cp' process takes 150% of the CPU time (purely single CPU system), but that's a different story, I guess. I hope, this sad experience of mine will help further improve softupdates. -mi ----- Forwarded message from Alfred Perlstein ----- On Fri, 22 Jan 1999, Mikhail Teterin wrote: > When I try to cp a big file (Wordperfect distribution) onto a Zip > cartridge (with ufs with softupdates) the whole system becomes "jerky" > and soon hangs -- I can still go from one virtual console to another, > but can not do anything and need cold reboot. [...] try searching the lists, my suggestion is to compile like so: controller ppc0 at isa? disable port ? tty irq 7 change to: controller ppc0 at isa? disable port ? cam irq 7 -----------------------------------------^^^ you may also want to try 'bio' it's been explained on the lists and i'm unsure. ----- End of forwarded message from Alfred Perlstein ----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
