Testing RAM
As you've probably read in my previous posts I'm having issues, most likely with the RAM. How would I go about slamming the RAM in testing? I was figuring I'd drop from 4GB to 1GB and just push the board with the same cp -rvn commands I've been running in an attempt to populate my 7TB RAID5. Also, am I using the wrong FS for the RAID? I partitioned it with gpt (1 large slice) and formatted it with newfs but is there another way? A better way? I read about ZFS recently but I am sure the speed of reading from a RAID5 is lost with it's redundancies.

I am not looking forward to redoing 1.6TB in file copying a second time ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not looking forward to redoing 1.6TB in file copying a second time Not that I am aware of. My big reason I would go with ZFS is it would make future updates easier as you can do it on the fly if the disks are just being added to a system. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ok, and since I have all 8 ports used on this SATA RAID controller I won't worry about it. I reinstalled 6.3-RELEASE for amd64 and I cannot get the DNS client to work... I can do one lookup and then it stops working. I am so frustrated. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
