Hi,
i'm having a problem with the disk numbering of RAID arrays (3ware
9650SE). When i boot, the array with my system is always the last
numbered drive (ATM its ad16). This array is on its own controller.
lsdev in the loader shows the array as drive0 (first BIOS drive i
assume).

When I have 2-3 compilation processes running entirely in memory and an
empty cycle (for (;;) {}) I only see 6-20% CPU load of each process.
Total that 'top -C' never even approaches 100% that it actually should

thinking that a software raid5 solution may not be such a bad idea.
software raid5 isn't any more bad than hardware raid5 most cases.
just raid5 is bad if you use it in ANY type of load except:
a) mostly reads - then set LARGE RAID stripe size
b) mostly huge files - then set small RAID stripe
I agree.
Check the interface on the device that connects into their network. You
will likely see all sorts of interface errors.
Try having them force to 100/Full, and you do the same at your end.
it's VERY common when other end is cisco switch ;) and nothing helps
except using other NIC.

You can do a lot with synthesized spoken language, but the
human "voice perception apparatus" reacts to them differently
than it does to a native (natural) voice, even if both say the
same text.
