Router performance - high BDP and low transfer speeds

2012-01-06 Thread Graham Allan
Hi, I'm trying to troubleshoot some performance issues for high speed data transfers across a long network path with a fairly high bandwidth delay. The router is running OpenBSD 4.6 - admittedly well overdue for an update to 5.0, but I did briefly test 5.0 on a backup machine and saw much

Dell R310 - does SAS6/iR work ok?

2012-01-09 Thread Graham Allan
Prepurchase check... I know the SAS 6/iR disk controller has been supported since OpenBSD 4.3 or but I saw some reports of write performance issues (due to disabling cache). Does it work ok in 5.0? Seems like my choices on the R310 are: onboard SATA - not available as option with hotswap
