Hi there,

	I'm running a Pentium 100, 64Megs of RAM, with an Adaptec 2940U
and Micropolis 1991 9gig SCSI-2 drive. My question is, is there any way to
improve the disk I/O performance of the server (running 2.1-Release)? It
seems that the disk is buried in I/O and drastically affects the performance
of my server. Any information is greatly appreciated.
