Good point I will put it on my list of things to do. Meanwhile can I help you with the immediate problem of the tagging? could you do something most brutal that even removes the tag support, just to get you going? And speaking of osdblk. Should it be its own full blown driver or should it be under dm ? I know that at some LSF people said it is better placed there? Specially since for a long time I wanted to base it over ORE and not directly libosd so to support RAID0/1/5/6 under the one simple block device. > > Not sure what exactly you mean, but I'm open to any serious proposal to > get rid of not actually usable cruft in old SCSI HBA drivers.

There is so much more cleaning I can see.
