Hrm. Run it through a polygraph, thats the only way to be sure.

I had all the offsets screwed up. the coss code isn't that clean.

Not really. I did my testing under BSD using the aio code, so I'd

* turn on aio in freebsd's kernel
* configure a 2gb coss drive
* start polygraphing
* afterwards (and no crashes!) configure multiple 2gb coss drives
  on the same disk (which was a 9gb disk)
* start polygraphing
