(da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 15 [ It's an older quantum disk ] It merely states the number of tagged commands the drive supports. It is one indicator of how good the drive is. 64 is good, 15 (like my disk) is pretty bad. What are tagged commands good for? They allow the operating system to send multiple commands to the device, and let the device send back results as the commands complete (in any order). The only time you might need to be concerned is if you see something like: (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 64 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 63 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 62 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 61 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 60 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 59 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 58 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 57 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 56 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 55 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 54 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 53 (da1:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 52 ...
