Hello,
I know that there is an actual BETA forum for the Fsys.aha8scsi testers, but I can’t
remember where it is. I will post here.
I have 2 Dell Poweredge servers with dual 10000 RPM SCSI drives. I am using QNX4.25D
(June 2000).

My problem is I am seeing a very slow Filesystem. Things are cached and sometimes
written as must as an hour later. (I did not verify this, but a user claimed it!)
I start Fsys in the boot image with the “-d -r 8192” options. The RAM disk works
fine.
I am seeing lots of vc’s to Fsys.

xmenu, xssc, xrdd, xdevice & hlt are all my applications that use syslog/closelog
to log system messages. These applications do not show any open file descripters
other than the usual suspects (/dev/con*, etc).
I extracted a 5MB tar file yesterday and it took two minutes to write all the
files (30).
The performance seems OK when we first boot, but degrade over time. These have
been running since March. These computers are servers and can’t be rebooted
all the time. Is there an updated driver I can try?
