I am trying to automatically generate a description for a given device (eg=
=20
what it's connected to) but I am having trouble with umass.

The other disks I have tried (acd, ad, twed) all have dev.name.number sysct=
l=20
nodes but umass disks seem to be inconsistently named.

=46or example they appear in kern.disks as daX but the corresponding sysctl=
 tree=20
is dev.umass.X.

I can add some code to handle it but it would be nice if it were fixed (if =
it=20
really is broken :)
