This will speedup any disc access with a multiple or so. But in case of an error/crash more difficult and loss of data could be result of this. There are some nice doc's about freebsd's filesystems and tunings. >=20 > Possibly also turn write caching on if it is off. > (man ata) >=20 > --- > Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer > for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au > "The nice thing about standards is that there > are so many of them to choose from." > -- Andrew Tanenbaum >=20 > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message --=20 Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
