Thanks for the suggestion. camcontrol doesn't seem able to futz with the 
mpt controller e.g.:

root at server# camcontrol identify da0 -v
(pass0:mpt0:0:2:0): ATAPI_IDENTIFY. ACB: a1 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00
(pass0:mpt0:0:2:0): CAM status: CCB request was invalid


However, there does appear to be a relevant sysctl:

root at server# sysctl dev.mpt.0
dev.mpt.0.%desc: LSILogic SAS/SATA Adapter
dev.mpt.0.%driver: mpt
dev.mpt.0.%location: slot=3 function=0
dev.mpt.0.%pnpinfo: vendor=0x1000 device=0x0050 subvendor=0x1000 
subdevice=0x3060 class=0x010000
dev.mpt.0.%parent: pci2
dev.mpt.0.debug: 3
dev.mpt.0.role: 1
dev.mpt.0.vol_member_wce: NC
dev.mpt.0.vol_queue_depth: 128
dev.mpt.0.vol_resync_rate: 0
dev.mpt.0.nonoptimal_volumes: 0

Setting dev.mpt.0.vol_queue_depth=32, I can still trigger the
"mpt0: mpt_cam_event: 0x16" messages by doing an svn up on the src tree. 
Same if I set depth to 16, so unfortunately it doesn't seem to do help 
in this case.

Cheers,
Lawrence
