Hello everybody,
(sorry for posting the uncomplete article ...)
(my fingers were to fast for this damned netscape news frontend.)
recently I installed FreeBSD 2.1.5 (Walnut Creek CD-ROM) on my new
system.
ASUS T2P4,
Intel P5-133,
64 MB RAM,
AHA 2940AU
ahc(0,0,0) Micropolis 4421, 2 GB
ahc(0,1,0) IBM DORS, 2 GB
ahc(0,2,0) IBM DFHS, 4,3 GB
ahc(0,6,0) Toshiba 3401
custom kernel (without AHC_TAGENABLE [misspelled, .. I know])
"Stressing" the io-subsystem [ transferring large amounts of data from
one disk to another; running parallel bonnie-benchmarks on different
disks; copying "/usr"-Filesystem from one disk to another by
'tar -c ... | (cd ... ; tar -x ...)' ] leads to massive
scsi-timeout errors.
Any hints?
TIA,
Andreas
P.S. ... I've already searched the mailing-lists archive.
My old system (FBSD 2.1, EISA-486, AHA2742AT, AHA1742) didn't
show up this nasty behavior.
