new notebook, new results: Toshiba 1410-614 5.4-RELEASE-p7 atapci0: <Intel ICH3 UDMA100 controller> ad0: 38154MB <WDC WD400VE-75HDT0/09.07D09> [77520/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 anything above vfs.read_max=1 produce sometimes very annoying little image glitch/freeze (synchronized with hdd led) when playing movies... (with AAC disk is now silent:) regards -- Bohdan 'Nexus' Horst _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
