Peer) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: [Q] Multiple 2940's in 2.1.0 Date: 14 May 1996 20:47:26 GMT Organization: Golden West College Lines: 21 Message-ID: <4nargu$r0u@spock.dis.cccd.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: mpeer.csc.gwc.cccd.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 This may seem like a simple question, but before I go off and spend a lots of money... I have a 90MHz pentium news server and would like to split the I/O to the disks across 2 adaptec PCI 2940 controllers and add more disks to further split up the I/O. I have a PCI SCSI in the host going to 2 3GB hard disks now. Can I add a second PCI controller? What is it called when I reconfigure the kernel, then again do I have to? I was also told to take the tape drive off these controlers, and I would like to add a CD-ROM eventually. Could I also add an adaptec 1540 controller for CD-ROM and Tape with the two PCI SCSI controllers in the same system?
