Hi

Looking to increase the disk buffering on a NetBSD 1.1 web server, it is 
serving from a relativley small pool of data but hammering the disk.

Can anyone give some more info as to how/where the SCSI disk caching
stuff is in the Src, and what can be 'tweaked', as we have plenty of 
memory in the machine.

Cheers
Kevin
