Correct > If so, how can one enable it? As far as I know, you should normally have write cache disabled on SCSI. I don't see how this can account for 10 seconds to update a dir entry... You can edit the code page with scsi(8). This change is saved permanently. But I think you should leave it alone. > From > top, I see mv goes to sleep state. On the WAIT, it showsgetblk.

Regards, Josi "What does top say? look at what state mv is in, **> WHAT CPU% IS USED IN INTERRUPT <**, whether there's something else running that hits the disks." Can you just paste in all the top output while it's running? (top|cat is easy to paste).
