Folks,

I don't know if there is list expertise and/or interest on this, but I am plumbing for both...here goes:

I am running 7.3.3 on NT4 sp3.

Adaptec 7895 dual port controller. Hardware RAID 05 ( I know, I know, not something I can change ).

Truly soft disk performance!

NT Perfmon shows, among other things, many Asynchronous and Deferred Procedure Calls.

Questions:

How can I see what is really going on?

What tweaks --- if any -- can I do inside NT to bump performance ( N.B. no "NT is self tuning" responses are needed, thanks! ;-> )

What tweaks -- other than dumping RAID 05 -- can I do on the hardware RAID side?

I am pulling my hair out. Received on Sun Feb 14 1999 - 20:42:38 CST
