Er, you want to stop and think about that for a second? If you have Windows on one disk and FreeBSD on the other, where is the opportiunity for drive conflicts (the source of performance loss)? You'd be much better off with both disks on the primary controller and your CDROM on the secondary controller if you cared about performance. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
