Hello I run a large number of FreeBSD based servers as cache accelerators for large scale image serving. (amd64 and most with dual core) Each server has (3) 147G disks and 36G of the boot disk. Altho I have some older servers that have 36G and (3) 72G disks. The older (smaller) servers seem mostly fine with FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE using diskD on Version 2.6.STABLE12. However the larger servers on 6.2-STABLE and (Version 2.6.STABLE12 and up) seem to be falling over and falling over themselves every so often. I assume due to the diskD bug with FreeBSD. (enormous disk usage and swapfiles as compared to AUFS for instance) I have been testing both AUFS and COSS as an alternative and both with mixed success. As some have pointed out, it's a shame diskd is horked, since it seemed to be nice and fast. However, since I have not heard of any progress on fixing the bug, I am curious what others have been using or prefer as their alternative to diskd and why? Thank you! Nicole
