I am learning slowly, and just discovered this mailing list.
In way of introduction, I am working on a high speed database
engine for embedded telephony applications.
We need to develop the following functionality:
1. Multi-initiator support
2. DLM
3. Non-stop operation
4. Very large (hundreds of Gigabytes) databases
5. Very fast (400 I/O's per second sustained) databases.
Because O/S source is very criticsl for such effort, the
``free'' ones area natural choice.
After 2 years or more of Linux usage. I decided (at least
for now) to not use it. FreeBSD seems very attractive.
My questions to this forum are:
1. Minor device designation for systems with up to 20 disk
controllers (PCI), FCAL interfaces (with over 100 targets
per bus. controllers with multiple busses, etc.
2. Naming conventions for /dev entries for such beasts.
3. Moving all SCSI devices to a /dev/{r}dsk...
4. Any documents about SCSI HBA driver entry points
5. Anyone interested in helping out
Thanx in advance,
Simon
