VIA 8237 RAID

2005-06-30 Thread Franco Bruno Borghesi
Has anyone tried any VIA 8237 RAID motherboard? I've just bought a MSI K8T Neo with 2x80GB SATA 150 disks. I've created a Raid 1 configuration from the BIOS, but when FreeBSD (5.4 for x86) CD boots it detects both disks (ad4, ad6) and installer allows me to partition both disks individually. I

You could use freebsd livecd (http://livecd.sourceforge.net/) for multiple installations. I don't know what kickstart is, but livecd lets you build an installation cd from an existing installation, and replicate it on other machines. 24 May 2005 14:25:16 -0400, Lowell Gilbert < [EMAIL PROTECTED

I'm curious... doesn't enabling ht make your system run slower? That's what I had found searching on google a while ago, and that's why I have never enabled ht on my kernels. 2005/5/24, Kirk Strauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Tuesday 24 May 2005 10:59, Tim Kellers wrote: > > > The acpi_load

Actually having a separated disk for swap should increase your performance. But my opinion is that if you really need *all* the 40 GB of swap when your system's ram is 3 GB, you won't see the difference: most of the data your system needs is swapped out! You could add a partition to your new dis
