how to control tagged queueing?

2002-11-12 Thread Dan Ellard
I'm experimenting with the effects of SCSI tagged queueing on file system performance. Is there any kind of global toggle somewhere in the kernel to turn tagged queueing on and off, and/or knob to limit the number of outstanding tags? Tagged queue management all seems to be done at the device le

gigabit NIC of choice?

2002-09-06 Thread Dan Ellard
What's the gigabit ethernet NIC of choice these days? (I've had good experiences with the NetGear G620T, but apparently this card is no longer being sold.) I'm looking for: - Easy FreeBSD integration. - Reliability. - High performance. Thanks, -Dan To Unsubs

again: FreeBSD NFS server benchmarks vs. OpenBSD, NetBSD?

2002-06-23 Thread Dan Ellard
There have been some useful responses to my original question, but I guess I didn't make it clear enough what the question was, because I got a lot of responses comparing the NFS servers on systems other than FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. I'm only interested in comparing the performance of these

FreeBSD NFS server benchmarks vs. OpenBSD, NetBSD?

2002-06-20 Thread Dan Ellard
Has anyone done a side-by-side benchmark of the FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD NFS servers on the same hardware? Note that I'm interested in server performance, not client performance. I'm particularly interested in read performance, but anything would be interesting. In lieu of actual data, whi

Thanks! (Re: multi-disk file systems on FreeBSD?)

2001-11-28 Thread Dan Ellard
Thanks to everyone who responded to my query. It looks like vinum and/or ccd will do exactly what I want and they look very straightforward to configure. I probably could have discovered this myself (as several people pointed out), but I was blinded by my assumption that RAID implied redundancy-

multi-disk file systems on FreeBSD?

2001-11-28 Thread Dan Ellard
Are there a way under FreeBSD to build a file system using more than one special file? For example, I have a machine with three 9G SCSI disks, and I'd like to build a 27G file system by combining them. Thanks, -Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe free
