Hi,
today I installed FreeBSD 8.2 AMD 64 on a fresh HP Proliant DL120G5 server and the HDD performance is extremely bad.
The active HDD is a:
The problem is now that for example portsnap fetch and extract takes more than 45 minutes and during that time everything else that is being executed on the server lags big time like for example a simple w takes more than 5 seconds or a cat of any small file also taking a long time. The server load is around 0.02 and there are more than 7GB RAM available.
I have an almost similar server where the HDD's show like this:
On that server everything works perfectly fine, fetching and extracting the ports collection is done in around 5 minutes and nothing else is lagging while doing that.
Does anyone have an idea whats the problem here? I am wondering bout the ad and da doesn't the first mean S-ATA and the second IDE? Is the drive running in a wrong mode? And what does the "Fixed Direct Access" mean?
