Hmm, Charles I've never seen a bug report from you on that issue, and both you and I know how important bug reports are for us. :-) FYI - I've never heard of nor seen any bug reports from anyone with a hard disk lite disk hang on any FreeBSD SCSI system. This is not to say that it doesn't happen, but I've never seen or heard of it. So, having seen most/all of the FreeBSD bug reports, it's funny that you would say that the hard-disk lite hang is common on with SCSI and FreeBSD.
