The only problem is that linuxthreads doesn't exist on FreeBSD/amd64. You have to use one of the native thread libraries. Your choices on 5.4 are not that great. I'd suggest libthr on 6.0 as the closest match to linuxthreads, but I don't recall if it is available on 5.4. I have a feeling it isn't. I have a feeling your choices are libc_r or libpthread (kse). libpthread should smoke libc_r for disk IO performance in general.

Re: 5.8TB RAID5 SATA Array Questions

Although I knew most of the information you provided, it was good to know that my knowledge was not very far off. It's also reassuring that I'm not the only nut job building ludicrous systems.. Nick, I believe that we may have some minor misinformation on our hands.. I refer you both to http://www.freebsd.org/projects/bigdisk/ which according to the page. When the UFS filesystem was introduced to BSD in 1982, its use of 32 bit offsets and counters to address the storage was considered to be ahead of its time. Since most fixed-disk storage devices use 512 byte sectors, 32 bits allowed for 2 Terabytes of storage. That was an almost un-imaginable quantity for the time. But now that 250 and 400 Gigabyte disks are available at consumer prices, it's trivial to build a hardware or software based storage array that can exceed 2TB for a few thousand dollars. The UFS2 filesystem was introduced in 2003 as a replacement to the original UFS and provides 64 bit counters and offsets. This allows for files and filesystems to grow to 2^73 bytes (2^64 * 512) in size and hopefully be sufficient for quite a long time. UFS2 largely solved the storage size limits imposed by the filesystem. Unfortunately, many tools and storage mechanisms still use or assume 32 bit values, often keeping FreeBSD limited to 2TB. So theoretically it should go over 1000TB.I've conducted several bastardized installations due to sysinstall not being able to do anything over the 2TB limit by creating the partition ahead of time.I am going to be attacking this tonight and my efforts will be primarily focused on creating one large 5.8TB slice..wish me luck!! PS: Muhaa haa haa! You'll need to use GPT to make this work for anything over 2TB.

The card is a 9500-12 despite the driver saying otherwise. The array is built at 2.7T through the 3ware bios. bsdlabel just refuses to accept a label larger than 700-something gig. -Original Message- From: Brent Wiese To: 'Nick Evans'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 9/1/04 8:12 PM Subject: RE: 2.7 Terabyte array and bsdlabel on 5.3-BETA2 wierdness dmesg: 3ware device driver for 9000 series storage controllers, version: 2.50.00.000 twa0: 3ware 9000 series Storage Controller port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 0xfb80-0xfbff,0xfe9ffc00-0xf Pre-9500 controllers have a hardware limit of 2TB per RAID volume. Likely that's your issue. And, before you decide to break it into 2 RAID volumes, be aware the highly optimized and blazing fast performance is *only* on the first volume. Additional volumes are very slow. Its something 3ware doesn't advertise but will usually admit to if confronted.
