I know this is probably a bit off-topic (okay, very off-topic), but I am trying to find people who are successfully running inn1.4 (news server) on FreeBSD 2.1. I am having a bunch of difficulty with the expire not working right. I can go into details with anyone who responds to this. I would appreciate any help that I can get. This expire business is holding up the launch of our new server for the campus. - Peter Schwenk, Academic Computing, West Chester University of PA - pschwenk@wcupa.edu ---------- From: Rashid Karimov[SMTP:rashid@rk.ios.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 1996 6:36 AM To: Tony Clark Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 9gig disk for freebsd > > > If i purchase a 9gig disk, will this be supported under freebsd 2.1.0 ?

One can use 9 gig with SunOS 412 , but will to partition it appropriately. If you're looking at news server solution ( as most 9 gig HDD buyers do ) I _strongly recommend to try CCD. It is _very fast ( I have it here with 3 2940Ws and 6 HDDs : 3 2 gig and 3 4 gig) and it shows ~18MB/sec throughput. Add PPro 200Mhz and 256Mb of RAM and you'll have a killer machine. > > -- > > Little Tony........ > Rashid
