I'm very sorry if I will be a bit unpolite, but I have to mail the 
following statement concerning the DTLA-Disks and FreeBSD:

It may be all true and horrible, but -

I still have an old FreeBSD Test-Installation (45GB are big enough :-) 
with a 4.4-STABLE as of Okt 23, 2001...

It boots off the DTLA, uses tagged-queuing and connects using UDMA100...
... and doesn't have any problems!!

So, to bring some of you down to earth again, the DTLA may be a 
horrible disk and I'm one of the last to praise ATA at all (My machine 
has two SCSI host adaptors, five SCSI-Disks and several other SCSI 
Devices), but it once worked!

I really, really don't want to blame Søren, he's doing a great job and 
everybody, who makes something makes occasionally some errors, but (at 
least for me) it doesn't seem to be a fundamental technical problem, 
because *it once worked* - sorry, but it's true.

And maybe it isn't related to tagged queuing and the DTLA at all - if I 
correctly understand Giorgos' mail...
