Hello, Daniel Can you execute camcontrol with some parameters again? For example, `camcontrol negotiate 0:0 -W 16 -O 127 -R 40.000'. -- Shunsuke SHINOMIYA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list

Oh, btw, this make improvements only on 7.0-Release and Stable using ULE scheduler. - Using 4BSD Scheduler will improve disk access speed but no cpu usage. - On FreeBSD 6.2 and 6.3 this make no difference on cpu usage/speed (about 60mb/sec maximum using 100% cpu). Thanks, Daniel Daniel

Hello, i'm running some tests with FreeBSD6.3 and FreeBSD7-Stable, using both AMD64 and I386 arch with both schedulers (ULE and 4BSD) on VmWare ESX3.5 server. Everything runs almost fine, except for disk access. Performance is quite OK (around 60mb/sec), but when accessing disks, System
