How do I ensure that the disks in my FreeBSD server are running at the optimal speed? I have two 160GB SATA II drives in my server and I wanted to make sure they were running at the maximum possible speed.
The output from my /var/run/dmesg.boot is as follows:
When I do a dump to disk I get about 9 megabytes per second which seems slow? Is there anything I can or should do to improve the performance of my disks? Do I need to tweak anything?
I'm running FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 i386.
Thanks for any help! :e
