Or if they're not, they can probably :>be easily added. I think Justin said it doesn't work with the CAM port of :>the NCR driver anyway. : :Yes. CAM has all of the hooks to allow you to set transfer settings, :tag enables, etc in a controller neutral fashion. Camcontrol should :get the command line options to set these once we've had a bit to :catch our breath. I've played with camcontrol a little and already like it. :So you haven't mentioned anything about how well your news server is :holding up with CAM... : :-- :Justin As expected, it works :-) I was running CAM on it before for a little while, so there were no big surprises this time around. CAM's expanded tag capabilities should allow the machine to scale to higher loads more smoothly but I don't expect a big boost in performance at low to medium load levels. The two remaining OS bugs I'd like to solve are the getblk/pgtblk deadlock, which occurs about once a week, and the write()/mmap() file corruption. Both are VM bugs and unrelated to CAM. We'll see if anything new turns up. -Matt Matthew Dillon Engineering, HiWay Technologies, Inc. & BEST Internet Communications & God knows what else. (Please include original email in any response)
