Feh. No. No devices are block devices now (or yesterday; block devices went away in 4.0). Linux has no character disk devices; FreeBSD has no block disk devices. Feh. Tapes are a little different from disks. Neither FreeBSD nor Linux has block tape devices, but FreeBSD used to have them. /dev/*rsa* didn't go away; they were just renamed to /dev/*sa*. The old /dev/*sa* went away. :-) Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
