You won't see any messages about the number of tags being reduced if you're running FreeBSD 3.2 or later. You can see them if you boot with -v, ("boot kernel -v" at the loader prompt). You can also check the number of outstanding tags with camcontrol in FreeBSD 3.2 and later. e.g.: {panzer:/usr/home/ken:2:0} camcontrol tags da1 (pass1:ahc1:0:1:0): device openings: 64 The above command just gives you the total number of possible transactions for the device in question. The total number possible is the sum of openings + active: {panzer:/usr/home/ken:3:0} camcontrol tags da1 -v (pass1:ahc1:0:1:0): dev_openings 55 (pass1:ahc1:0:1:0): dev_active 9 (pass1:ahc1:0:1:0): devq_openings 55 (pass1:ahc1:0:1:0): devq_queued 0 (pass1:ahc1:0:1:0): held 0 (pass1:ahc1:0:1:0): mintags 2 (pass1:ahc1:0:1:0): maxtags 255 Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@kdm.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
