LSI h/w needs more outstanding command in FW to get better Perf counts comp=
are to other OS.
Please suggest if whatever I have been observed is limitation from FreeBSD =
or we can tune it in Driver ?
My goals is to pump ~1000 outstanding IOs to the HBA. I see that it never g=
oes beyond 255.=20
Thanks,
Kashyap
