I've asked the patch writer to include you. It's his choice of course.

While you're waiting here's the workaround script I've been using.

#cat /etc/rc.early
#!/bin/sh

/sbin/camcontrol tags da0 -N31
/sbin/camcontrol tags da1 -N31
/sbin/camcontrol tags da2 -N31
/sbin/camcontrol tags da3 -N31

32 is the recomended value, but I had a failure, hence 31.

I also have soft-updates off, mainly as I was getting panics and having
the file system trashed once a week. It's also been suggested that WCE
should be off.
