I've just installed FreeBSD 3.1 on a laptop and it sounds like the heads of the drive are getting parked a lot. I've tried tracking down how to increase the update time, but for some reason, sysctl doesn't think there's a kern.update. How do I go about setting it? Is there anything else I can do to delay writing to the drive? Tuning a filesystem parameter, or some sort memory cache parameter? Thanks for your help. -- Eric Blood To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
