Like I said, I have 20 disks spread over 4 controllers. Running 3.0-CURRENT, so with CAM. The only caveat I encountered was that boot.flp doesn't have enough inodes free to create all /dev entries on the ram disk, so I had to do the initial install with two of the three external SCSI casings disconnected from their respective controllers. (Jordan is aware of the problem, but I agree with him that it's not a situation many people will find themselves in. It'll probably be fixed at the same time when the GENERIC kernel exceeds one floppy...) 'dmesg' output is longish, with all the softupdates filesystem messages it's almost large enough to wrap the ring buffer. -- Niels.
