I guess maybe I didn't make myself clear. I want more drive activity on the server side. I am not using a browser, but a home grown synthetic test from the client side. It is not doing any caching. I'm in a system test lab and would like to get stress to my disk controller, but the files this test is grabbing are fairly small in size and in number, so they are all in FreeBSDs cache. My configuration is: Server: Pentium II processor, 440BX chipset, 64 MB RAM, 2x e100b NIC, 2940 SCSI. 16 clients, 8 on each network, running a test that does http gets to the server.

Which browser are you using? In Netscape, setting the memory cache size to zero will cause all pages to be cached on disk, provided that disk caching is enabled. -- Gryphenne Cassandra, BFH, WSIAMB & President of the Foundation Consulting, Tech Support, Mass-bandwidth ICQ: 15038888 Come to the Waterfront and ask for the Gryphenne To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
