I just rebuild my samba file server and noticed that disklabel reports all my hard drive's rpm at 3600 although all of them support higher speeds. How come? Is it reported incorrectly or do I need to manually set the rpm using disklabel to optimize the speed? Or is there another reason and I shouldn't touch it?
Another side question I have, is there any drawback to put the OS on a slower drive like I did there? dmesg and dislabel reports are below. Thanks, Claus OpenBSD 4.7 (GENERIC) #558: Wed Mar 17 20:46:15 MDT 2010 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel Pentium III ("GenuineIntel" 686-class, 128KB L2 cache) 698 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE real mem = 535392256 (510MB) avail mem = 510046208 (486MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 04/18/01, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfa0e0, SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xfc7f0 (19 entries) bios0: vendor Compaq version "686C3" date 04/18/2001 bios0: Compaq Compaq PC acpi0 at bios0: rev 0 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP SSDT acpi0: wakeup devices PBTN(S1) PCI0(S1) USB0(S1) BUS1(S1) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 24 bits acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpicpu0 at acpi0: C2 acpibtn0 at acpi0: PBTN bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0x8000 0xd8000/0x1800 0xe8000/0x4000!
