#===== start of attach =====
I have a fileserver with about 25GB of data in it on 2.4GB disks. I
have been looking for a good technical explanation of how setting minfree
to less than 10% even when forcing optimization to remain "time" causes
preformance problems. I can't seem to find anything other than the
statemen "setting minfree below 10% can cause performance problems."
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly
appriciated.
P.S. Please respond directly as I don't have direct access to the net.

"routine Phillies victory" and "now pitching for Phila. - Mitch Williams"
