I'm considering enabling it on our Squid proxy server(PIII 400) and our Mail sever (P133) Both machines have SCSI drives and although I've had no real problems with either machines performance it seems like a logical option to enable for better disk performance. I'd like to hear any comments or real life experiences anyone has about it, any problems if the machine is rebooted or power goes down while the machine is writing away (I understand there is the delayed Disk full with it enabled but that shouldn't be a problem) Thanks Ray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
