Simon, I looked under ftp://ftp.simon-shapiro.org/crash/tools and noted a number of FreeBSD binaries with names like "dtp_dm". Could this per chance be the native mgmt software that Tom is talking about below? If so, do I need a /dev/dpt? How can a make one (/dev/MAKEDEV doesn't know anything about it, of course)? I'm running 2.2.6 at the moment, BTW.

Well, the Unix Storage Manager apparently works by reading and writing commands to /dev/dpt If you check the archives, Simon posted a way you could send a command to /dev/dtp, and then use cat to display the result. I don't know if the driver has a complete command interface though. I understand that Simon is working on a native FreeBSD storage manager. DPT has apparently given him the code to do the port. > -- > GeoffB Tom --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.
