I have a few more questions ? 1). I want the SCSI block driver to support IOCTL's passed to that. Basically this is used to communicate with the firmware and get some statistics and also use some facilities like upgrading of firmware etc. 2). Is there anyway to write the SCSI block driver bypassing the CAM layer ? We are planning to write the device driver in 3.4 FreeBSD which is the stable version now.
