This is not intended to start a flamewar of any kind, I don't know very much about CAM except that it is some kind of standard and FreeBSD uses it and they seem to be mostly happy with it. So I'm just curious if any of the SCSI hackers think that CAM would be worthwhile and if not, why? Too heavyweight? Too ugly? Won't fit well with the new BIO design in the 2.5 kernel? /Christer -- "Just how much can I get away with and still go to heaven?"
