Hello Managers,

I have a 2100 server running 3.2b with a EISA swxcr raid controller. I have
6 rz28's in a raid 5 configuration. I have a directory with 5000 files. When
I do the following command on the server 'ls -l', there is a delay of 10
seconds before I start seeing files appear on the screen.

I have also seen a problem with the display where the directory listing is
not completed and the screen stops listing the files at some arbitrary
point.

Are these bugs in the DU 3.2b ?
Are there any tuning issues to be researched ?
Or do I have to scrap this configuration and buy a PCI Raid controller with
disk and use a RAID 0+1 configuration?


Thanks,
