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.

I have a requirement to connect a large number of USB bus powered external
hard disks to a FreeBSD 8.0 system. I am talking about hundreds of them.
The USB spec itself limits to 127 devices per bus, including hubs (and
including the internal hub-like device on many busses).

Ok... good tip thanks. That would definitely leave my db/pkg out of
whack. I wonder if a 'portupgrade -af' would fix that up?
I doubt it. How would portupgrade know what is installed (to which -a

I'll wait for others to weigh in as well on option 1
