L440GX+ Server Board

Hi all, I have a problem with a server running a FreeBSD 3.2. My Server has a L440GX+ Serber Board (intel), with network card 10/100, SCSI AIC 7896 (80MB/s), 2 SCSI disk with 9GB (80MB/s), 2 pentium III 450Mhz (not overclocked). The NIC and SCSI are onboard. I recompiled a kernel to SMP, and

:Ok, I've run some more tests. Basically you want to run NFSv3 under :CURRENT and you want to run at least 3 nfsiod's. On a 100BaseTX network Oh, let me be a bit more clear: Run 3 nfsiod's on the client. Run 4 nfsd's on the server. e.g. 'nfsiod -n 3' on the client and 'nfsd

The reason is due to the way NFSv3 issues writes. NFSv3 issues a write but no longer assumes that the write has been synced to the server's disk as of when the reply comes back. Instead it keeps the buffer around and does a later commit rpc to do the sync, presumably

Hello there, so it seems that pthread_set_concurrency() has not been implemented at least up to 3.2-stable. How could one ensure that their threads in an application can be equally distributed to all the processors in FreeBSD? Are there any documents on FreeBSD 3.*'s thread support(both kernel

I have been writing a nasty kludge to treat a CardBus bridge as a standard PCI bridge (with static config) you may start throwing rocks now. I have it to the point where I can (after the system is booted) 'pciconf -r pci5:0:0 0' and get scan information (neat, huh :). Welll, I thought it would
