I am learning slowly, and just discovered this mailing list. In way of introduction, I am working on a high speed database engine for embedded telephony applications. We need to develop the following functionality: 1. Multi-initiator support 2. DLM 3. Non-stop operation 4. Very large (hundreds of Gigabytes) databases 5. Very fast (400 I/O's per second sustained) databases. Because O/S source is very criticsl for such effort, the ``free'' ones area natural choice. After 2 years or more of Linux usage. I decided (at least for now) to not use it. FreeBSD seems very attractive. My questions to this forum are: 1. Minor device designation for systems with up to 20 disk controllers (PCI), FCAL interfaces (with over 100 targets per bus. controllers with multiple busses, etc. 2. Naming conventions for /dev entries for such beasts. 3. Moving all SCSI devices to a /dev/{r}dsk... 4. Any documents about SCSI HBA driver entry points 5. Anyone interested in helping out Thanx in advance, Simon
