Oh yeah, I forgot to reply to your message to me about this. The answer for wcarchive is that we only have 3 controllers - 0-2, so I haven't been faced with an sd3<n> problem yet. :-) It looks like there are only 5 bits for the unit number. This means that one will have to make driver changes to go beyond 32 units. :-( -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
