Hi,

"camcontrol tags" hangs:

Apr  9 15:36:36 terminator kernel: da3 at iscsi0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
Apr  9 15:36:36 terminator kernel: da3: <FreeBSD iSCSI DISK 0001> Fixed
Direct Access SCSI-5 device
Apr  9 15:36:38 terminator kernel: (da2:iscsi0:0:0:0): lost device
Apr  9 15:36:38 terminator kernel: (da2:iscsi0:0:0:0): removing device entry
terminator:~ivoras/temp/sbin/iscontrol# ls /dev/da*
/dev/da0     /dev/da0s1   /dev/da0s1a  /dev/da0s1b  /dev/da0s1c
/dev/da1     /dev/da3
terminator:~ivoras/temp/sbin/iscontrol# camcontrol tags da3


The configuration is:

target0 {
        targetaddress = 161.53.72.65
        targetname = iqn.2007-09.jp.ne.peach:disk1
        tags = 16
}
