Re: Maximum Number of USB Mass Storage Devices
Thanks David. My question was specific to FreeBSD's limitations rather than USB limitiations. You're not going to get hundreds of them on a single bus, whether it's FreeBSD's limitation or USB's.

The USB spec itself limits to 127 devices per bus, including hubs (and including the internal hub-like device on many busses). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Overview I am aware of the power and bus limitations and intend to use power hubs and multiple server USB ports to overcome this issue. My question is this: Does FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE have an operating system limitation on the number of USB storage devices I can connect and mount. Thanks.
