Modification of time out values for FreeBSD-2.2.1 & FreeBSD
3.0-970522-SNAP


During playing around with my removable media daemon I had this experience
that a number of time outs were a bit on the short side:

   scsi_start_unit
   scsi_stop_unit

Spin down takes approximately 15 seconds on the JAZ drive. When you send
the drive a command during the spin down, it locks up and needs to be
switched on and off to restore proper behaviour. This solution has been
found somewhere in the archives for Linux.


Another one is the recognition of the tape drives. Can't remember what I
exactly did to that one, but upon recognition of an old Archive Viper with
a tape inserted it takes about 40 seconds to get online. FreeBSD in the
meantime decides that it needs to pop round the errors departement and go
read through those message, aloud. I will post this one as soon as I get
that one here.


(Don't you love free OS's?)
