Replacement for Adaptec 2200s

[Kent Ketell]

All,

It has come to my attention, apparently a bit belatedly, that Adaptec
has discontinued the 2200s and the 2120s RAID controllers.  This really
bums me out as it is the controller that I have standardized all of my
FreeBSD 4.x systems on.

My question to you all is this:  What RAID controller is available for
use in FreeBSD 4.x that offers the same type of functionality as the AAC
family did?

Thanks in advance.

I have had great results with the Adaptec 2200s controllers.  Just remember to 
not enable the aacp device.

HP DL360-P4 slow network writes

[Kent Ketell]

Hi,

I have been using HP DL360-G3 and G4 servers for various tasks and have
found that latest batch to have a problem with network writes being VERY
slow.  Reads are fine.  Local reads/writes are fine.  It's just network
writes that are hurting me.

I have tried installing Intel server NICs in the systems with no
difference.  I have tried going to different switches with no
difference.  I have tried changing the Cat5 cables with no differences.

I installed RedHat on the same exact box and did not have the same slow
write speeds.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance.

Problems making release 4.9

[Kent Ketell]

I am having difficulty getting make release to complete under 4.9.  I
have cvsup'd the source, built the world, installed the world and then
attempted to do make release and failed.
 
The failure is always in the same spot:

It would appear that the goodies trying to be stuffed onto the floppy
are too big to fit:
 
 ls -l /b/release/4.9-STABLE/R/stage/image.kern/
total 1346
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Mar 18 14:12 boot/
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1345876 Mar 18 14:12 kernel.gz*

 
I have done this many times with pervious releases to make custom
install CDs, but have yet to have it work under 4.9.  What can I do to
trim some fat from the bits to make them fit on the floppy.
 
I don't even need the floppies, other than boot.flp.
 
Please reply directly if you can, as I am not subscribed to the list.
 
Thanks in advance.

Can I disable HTT in 4.8-STABLE?

[Kent Ketell]

Is there a way to disable the hyperthreading in 4.8-STABLE or
4.9-PRERELEASE?  I'd like to be able to test with and without HTT
enabled to see whether it's actually helping or not.
 
Thanks in advance.
