Re: increasing dd disk to disk transfer rate

Since you are using a modern disk, you should check your smart counters. I
know how to do it on NetBSD, and I believe the command is also available on
FreeBSD. First, you have to turn on the smart (S.M.A.R.T.) stuff on the
hard-disk.
Then you can poll the hard disk and have counters reported back to you with
precious information about errors :)
Here is what I get from atactl on NetBSD :
{/root}

So by checking your own counters, you might get hints from the hardware that
something is wrong there.
Then, there is a web page with tools from Hitachi (IBM) that allow you to
boot and check your disk :
http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm
Which such tools, you can have access to some functions that are not
available from our beloved BSD like turning ON the "check the noise you do
and try to be quiet" option :)
The feature tool will let you do that :
Change the drive Automatic Acoustic Management settings to the:
* Lowest acoustic emanation setting (Quiet Seek Mode), or
* Maximum performance level (Normal Seek Mode).
I was using a disk like yours on my Thinkpad X30. I replaced it with a
Samsung which has the same kind of tools available and usually in the form
of bootable floppies.
Hope this will help !

One of the files you are including IS already including net/ethernet probably.

Re: accessing NetBSD filesystem
> FFS == UFS. The FreeBSD UFS is the FFS accessed through the VFS layer, but basically the format is the same. If you want to have access, from FreeBSD, to NetBSD partitions, make sure the NetBSD partitions have been formated using FFSv2 which is the port of UFS to NetBSD. There are some differences though : no ACL support nor snapshots available there. Please use NetBSD 2.x (I use 2.1 but I got a machine running current) and format the partition to be shared using FFSv2 on NetBSD. Should work fine. FFSv2 (UFS2 in FreeBSD) is not the defautl type in NetBSD 2 for now. I have not checked in current. So if you want to use newfs from NetBSD, don't forget to ask for FFSv2 (-O 2). FFS code in NetBSD's kernel contains the options required for UFS2 support. There are superblock changes in FFSv2 (UFS2). So don't use old (as in NetBSD 1.6.x) fsck on such volumes. It is possible to do an upgrade on fsck_ffs before using FFSv2 and this works fine in 1.6.x Please read the following doc : http://sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net/jeroen/faq.html The NetBSD's current newfs man page (http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?newfs++NetBSD-current) makes mention of the ACL so perhaps they're supported in NetBSD-current :) -- unzip ; strip ; touch ; grep ; finger ; mount ; fsck ; more ; yes ; fsck ; umount ; sleep ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
