Greetz, I got my hands on a SunFire x4600. This is a dual-core 8-way Opteron (dmesg shows 16 CPUs) w/c has 32G RAM. FreeBSD 6.2/amd64 runs fine on it despite: - 'reboot' doesnt work, machine just hangs in there. - front USB ports wont work for a USB keyboard, just use da ports at da back.
I've read a lot of threads in da past (and da BSDCan 2006 paper) regarding mfs on /usr/src and /usr/obj to speed up buildworlds, unfortunately it doesnt seem to improve things. I've tried both a malloc and swap based async non-softupdates mfs (and rebooted da box every after) but my buildworld speeds seem to be just da same as I do it on da MPT SAS disk w/c is just around ~18mins. Yeah, i know there's da tmpfs project but I was just wondering if I may have missed somthing in my mfs adventures. Thanks ;-) cheers mars _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
