The SCSI setup on our sd box (well, part of it) is like this: sym0: <825> rev 0x2 at pci 0000:00:0a.0 irq 10 sym0: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-10, SE, parity checking sym0: SCSI BUS has been reset. scsi0 : sym-2.1.18n Vendor: TANDBERG Model: DLT8000 Rev: 0255 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 target0:0:2: Beginning Domain Validation sym0:2: wide asynchronous. target0:0:2: Domain Validation skipping write tests sym0:2: FAST-10 WIDE SCSI 20.0 MB/s ST (100.0 ns, offset 8) target0:0:2: Ending Domain Validation scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36 <Adaptec (Compaq OEM) 29160 Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs (scsi1:A:3): 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit) Vendor: QUANTUM Model: DLT8000 Rev: 0250 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi tape st2 at scsi1, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 st2: try direct i/o: yes (alignment 512 B), max page reachable by HBA 1048575 Neither SCSI chipset has given us any problems, although we don't exactly push them hard (the box can't!): # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel model name : Pentium 75 - 200 cpu MHz : 133.634 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel model name : Pentium 75 - 200 cpu MHz : 133.634 # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 108 105 2 0 55 13 -/+ buffers/cache: 36 71 Swap: 406 2 403 Lowest spec production sd out there, perhaps? :) -- Russell Howe | Why be just another cog in the machine, [EMAIL PROTECTED] | when you can be the spanner in the works? ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
