Hello,
What would be the best Kernel options to run a file server?
I will be using an Intel server mother board with one Xeon quad core CPU
installed (this mother board has 2 CPU sockets) 2GB RAM and dual 500Gb
SATA HDD's
I am thinking of options that would make the kernel efficient as a pure
file server.
Thanks,
Ivan

First, please don't top post. Thanks.
I typically recompile a kernel for almost every new machine. You can
certainly change a great deal of options within the kernel that you
otherwise can't do. For instance do a 'make LINT' in
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf and grok the LINT file for options. There are
tons of tweaks you could do.
If you want to tweak the file server I would look more into tunefs. man
tunefs...this will probably be where you will find the most info about
getting the most out of your filesystem.
