Hi Misc! We have some older HP Dl360, Dl380 G4 machines with Smart Array 6i controllores w/o battery backed cache.
The disk performance in this case is really poor, for examle the disklabel operation on a 72GB disk lasted for about 5 mins. I found a commit in a NetBSD ciss driver (which is a port of OpenBSD driver), that solve the problem i think: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ic/ciss.c?rev=1.23&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN The problem is, that the NetBSD scsi midlayer is very different from the OpenBSD, so is it possible to integrate this patch? My C and OpenBSD internals knowledge is not enough for this task. PS: Yes i know, my english is terrible. thx csszep
