It'll probably happen along with the multipathing work we're planning to do for CAM, since our initial goal will be handling multiple paths in a SAS topology. Our management is currently figuring out our priorties for the next set of features they want. Once they figure that out I may have a better idea of when it'll happen. I'm pretty sure multipathing won't be the next feature we do, so my guess is that we wouldn't start on it until next year. If there are other folks who are interested in helping out so that the multipathing work happens sooner, that might influence our time frame for working on it to some extent. One short-term note -- I'm working on support for descriptor sense right now. Seagate's new 3TB SAS drives return descriptor sense by default. I'm planning to put the code into head once it unfreezes. Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@FreeBSD.ORG
