I cant find the ATA_ENABLE_TAGS in LINT from 4.3-RELEASE, so I think you have versions mixed up somehow. Anyhow from 4.3 its a tunable setable from the loader (see man ata). Another thing is that unless you use the newer Promise TX2 line of controllers and FreeBSD 4.4, tagged queing wont work (the older Promise controllers doesn't grok tags). -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
