NetBSD 1.1 Disk Cacheing

NetBSD 1.1 Disk Cacheing

Post by Kevin Walt » Sat, 21 Dec 1996 04:00:00



Hi

Looking to increase the disk buffering on a NetBSD 1.1 web server, it is
serving from a relativley small pool of data but hammering the disk.

Can anyone give some more info as to how/where the SCSI disk caching
stuff is in the Src, and what can be 'tweaked', as we have plenty of
memory in the machine.

Cheers
Kevin

I use "options BUFPAGES=1024" in the kernel configuration files to get
4MB buffers on a NetBSD-i386 1.2 system.

You might want to try a better web server in addtion to a large buffer
cache.  See http://www.roxen.com
 
 
 

1. GCC 2.7.2 on NetBSD 1.1

I was wondering if anyone actually had 2.7.2 compiled
on NetBSD 1.1. The reason I ask is that I am having some
difficulties getting it compiled (and working). The resulting
gcc binary compiles programs that core dump, including the
enquire program... Hmmmmm. I cant even get it compiled
if I use as from the binutils2.6. (the genattr program produced
core dumps...) Just wondering if anyone has seen this before?
