FreeBSD 4.3R Looking to build some high perf outbound mail gateways. The disk i/o is the limiting factor, as we painfully noted when we saw with a ATA100 drive that couldn´t relay more than 9k msgs/hour to Internet, where a msg was 15 to 20k. So we´re looking at 15K RPM disks and 160 mb/sec controllers with battery-backed cache of 64 or 128 megs. Anybody used the MegaRAID 1600 or 500 with 15K disks and that much cache? or any on-board cache? This is my first time with FreeBSD and SCSI. Is there any how-to on the (MegaRAID) scsi on-board bios params to make happy with the (amr) scsi driver?
