What is a good upper bound on the length of time a device should be allowed to report busy? I hate these kinds of questions because you never seem to be able to satisfy everyone. Perhaps 5 minutes is good. One thing I don't understand yet is why this hung up the whole machine. It should have only stuffed up that one device, not all devices in the system. Have you looked at the code path to see where this other bug may be? -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
