Hello Kai, Thank you very much for the reply. It's helpful.

It looks like that BIOS "write cache" settings don't change anything (atactl does it). KM> enabling amd64 bsd.mp Your CPU is Xeon, mine is Pentium D. Don't think amd64 will work for me. KM> enabling acpi How exactly do you do it? Mine acpi-related lines are #option ACPIVERBOSE #option ACPI_ENABLE acpi0 at mainbus? acpitimer* at acpi? #acpihpet* at acpi? #acpiac* at acpi? #acpibat* at acpi? #acpibtn* at acpi? acpicpu* at acpi? #acpidock* at acpi? acpiec* at acpi? acpiprt* at acpi? acpitz* at acpi? Do I need to uncomment "options" or they are active by default anyway? Is there any documents about it? KM> enabling write cache for wd0 in the system with: KM> # atactl wd0 writecacheenable Where do you put these command? For now I just ran it manually (and tested the result). I think it makes sense to activate the write cache before checking (and possibly recovering) RAIDframe devices, but rc.secure and rc.local are being called after that. Is it a good idea to put these atactl commands to /etc/rc right before "#Configure ccd devices" line? KM> Before we had horrible 2MByte write speed, now we have 67MByte. I'm getting an about 16 times speed increase on copying a 1.2 gig file. Is there any performance tests for the OpenBSD, BTW? KM> The bge interfaces also seem to run fine. Have you tried to boot with a network cable unplugged and than plug it? My bge* (on two computers so far) detects a media of 10 megabit in that case (ifconfig down/up makes it to detect the right media - 100 or 1000 megabit). em* devices don't have that (minor?) bug.
