[-- Attachment #1 --] I am trying to automatically generate a description for a given device (eg 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 sysctl nodes but umass disks seem to be inconsistently named. For example they appear in kern.disks as daX but the corresponding sysctl tree is dev.umass.X. I can add some code to handle it but it would be nice if it were fixed (if it really is broken :) -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGIugW5ZPcIHs/zowRAsPHAJ9ydsBoQuN1xOHULRwLjM1aon55pQCfWpVq v90dueFCt5fp3/vfeZj1wLg= =kB+g -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
