Can you kindly provide links? I'm crawling through the mailing lists and
not finding anything for the October, (current, stable, sysinstall, ... ?? =
others?)

Do I need to be looking back in September? I wouldn't think so, because that
bit wasn't even in our development tree until October 1st:

http://druidbsd.cvs.sf.net/viewvc/druidbsd/bsdinstall_zfs/usr.sbin%3A%3Absd=
config%3A%3Ashare%3A%3Adevice.subr.patch?revision=3D1.1&view=3Dmarkup

So there couldn't have been any discussion on it before then. So I'm just n=
ot
able to find the mailing lists where all the action is that they're discuss=
ing it.
Would be nice to find where the action is, so I could participate.

Allan Adds:
9.2 should have all disks listed in camcontrol, so it shouldn't be an issue

And:
I think the only systems without cam based disks are old 8.x - we're only t=
argeting 10 anyway.

I tend to agree with those statements.

I think we both (Allan and I) actually responded directly to you on this on=
e.

We have code that handles that. It's in there.
