Related, but not really:  pet peeve of the day: DK_NDRIVE is set to 8 in
sys/dkstat.h.  This effectively limits the number of drives I can get
statistics on - statistics that would tend to be more useful the more drives
I have.  Is there any harm in increasing this?  My news box has a dozen
disks.

(I also noticed: extern int dk_busy;    /* bit field of busy drives */
which is sorta scary  :-)  wonder how many other places there are hidden
limits built in?)
