- Just wanted to let you know, that #516 works with syncronous mode,
- while I only got #508 to work asynchronous. Great thing!
-
- Does synchronous mode speed up things a lot, or where are the advantages?
- In the manual of the new Gigdrives we got for our Suns at work they say,
- "if you add more drives you should recompile the kernel and use
- asynchronous mode". I wonder why? Anyways, we did not try - we just had to
- spread the drives all over our suns, because as soon as you put the dattape
- and one of those drives together - or an old gig drive (synchronous also)
- with one of them, nothing worked any more. The thing does not boot anymore
- and kills your superblock ;(
