Yes, I assumed that each device node was for a channel; I had misremembered why only the first zs device was used, and jumped to conclusions. Sorry for the confusion. I assume this is just a firmware bug then; it is unlikely that there is a factor by which we ought to multiply the sizes given in the property, since for other devices they match exactly what is to be expected by the documentation, and larger sizes would lead to overlapping regions there. - Thomas -- Thomas Moestl <t.moestl@tu-bs.de> http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0015675/ <tmm@FreeBSD.org> http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tmm/ PGP fingerprint: 1C97 A604 2BD0 E492 51D0 9C0F 1FE6 4F1D 419C 776C
