It's a normal side-effect of CAM's ability to "throttle back" as necessary since the abilities of many drives often don't match what they claim to be able to do. > what it means? How to handle it? Relax and ignore it. :) Maybe it should be made part of bootverbose now since I have seen several messages about this from users needlessly freaking out about the message. I happen to like the message since it tells me which drives to perhaps avoid in the future if it drops to a really low number, but I can see how it would make other people scream and run to the tech support lines. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
