Markus, It worked fine here. And i got a lot of increase in I/O subsystem.
# dd if=/dev/rsd0f of=/dev/null bs=1024k ^C243+0 records in 243+0 records out 254803968 bytes transferred in 4.318 secs (59004868 bytes/sec) # expr 59004868 / 1024 57621 # I was getting just 1 MB/s. BTW, this machine i use day by day, and gonna report if something go wrong. Below my dmesg.
