- My ESIX 3.2-D system has only paniced once - that was when I killed the
- inet daemon. However it (espeically as of late) has been prone to "hanging",
- so I have to reboot. It is rather insidious, in that it is very difficult
- to tell *why* it is hanging!
-
- I suspect part of the problem may be the fact that I'm running SCSI,
- something which ESIX 3.2 wasn't know for in terms of "goodness".
-
- Another of my problems seems to stem from problems with fas 2.09.
- I have to try 2.10 soon to see how it does.
-
- How is R4 (any brand) in terms of SCSI support?
