Enabling tagged queueing on a pair of fast/wide Buslogic cards talking to fast/wide Barracudas made a noticible difference in speed on our BSDI 2.1 news box. I think the driver supporting tagged queueing (and lots of other enhancements) will be available for general release when BSDI releases version 3.0. The new disk striping driver rocks too. :-) Chris -- Christopher Mauritz | For info on internet access: ritz@interactive.net | finger/mail info@interactive.net OR IBS Interactive, Inc. | http://www.interactive.net/
