CAM's max is 64 (is there any way to raise this?), so the first time your system hits the disk heavily, your drive will complain about the number of tags it can't handle, and the kernel message will pop up. There's no way to query the drive for this information (as far as I know), so the system basically tries to use as many tagged commands as possible until the drive complains. Some of Netware's SCSI drivers print the same messages. It's actually nice to see the message; then I know what drives not to buy next time :) -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
