How could it be done? I only know that you can use flags in the kernel to let FreeBSD probe for DMA, multi-block I/O, etc. You can use iozone (from /usr/ports/benchmarks/iozone) to test this very easily. See 'man wd' and the LINT-configuration. I don't know why these options aren't set by default. -- Ronald Klop http://node11a94.a2000.nl/~ronald/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
