Hmmm... Barracuda = Seagate no? - Anyway, it's not an error - it's
informational, it tells you how many commands the hard drive can have queued
at any one time... e.g. on my system I get:

caladan /kernel: (da7:ahc1:0:0:0): tagged openings now 15

When my rather ageing Quantum ProDrive gets hammered...

It's harmless, but informative... <G>

Karl
