Kernel Build Issues with latest cvsup of both a 7.2 system, and a 6.4 system..

2009-10-12 Thread Howard Leadmon
Not sure if I am just having a run of bad luck here, but I have a bunch of various free BSD boxen on both 6.4-STABLE, and on 7.2-STABLE. I try and make it a point to do a cvsup and update the machines every month or so to keep things current and any updates/patches installed. I decided a coupl

Re: Any recommended Intel server motherboards?

2009-10-12 Thread Antony Mawer
The Intel boards all in all tend to be pretty well supported... we run a number of S3200SHL boards (about to be EOL'd I believe) and older S2000 series in production without any hitches. The basic Intel soft-RAID on the entry level boards should be avoided (use gmirror or similar if need be). If y

We're not running 8 yet but we do have a 7.x box which its under fairly high IO load doing mrtg graphs which has similar behaviour. When typing a command on ssh it will freeze for may seconds. I even went to far as to write a little C app which just prints out the time to screen and even that sees
