I have one more update going into -current soon to add some needed error checking to the ATAPI part, and preparing the ATA disk driver for tagged queing. When that has settled (and I get a little spare time) tagged queing is next on the list of things to "test" on the brave -current population :) I'm pretty happy with its qualities as of now, it is stable enough that you can run production on it, and performance leaves little to be desired, I get ~18Mbyte/sec from my IBM 7200 drive, which is almost as good as it gets.... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
