I've been running it that way for several days and have transferred large amounts of data to an external USB3 disk with no problems. I didn't mention it, but I also tested the reset kernel (with INVARIANTS) with the sysctl set to 0 and the kernel did not panic. I've had ada_enable_uma_ccbs set to 1 the whole time and never saw any problems. I agree, as long as the default is 0 all the code can stay in the tree. -- Gary Jennejohn
