The following reply was made to PR bin/159833; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jeremy Chadwick <jdc@koitsu.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, killing@multiplay.co.uk Cc: mav@freebsd.org, avg@freebsd.org Subject: Re: bin/159833: camcontrol(8): [patch] add ATA security options to camcontrol including secure erase Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2012 10:54:44 -0800 This incredibly useful PR/patch has been neglected for over a year. SSDs are mainstream now and being used commonly by FreeBSD users. This greatly increases the want for secure erase. Sure, we have TRIM for UFS, and HEAD/CURRENT has TRIM for ZFS, and that's good at keeping the FTL optimal on an SSD, but let's be reasonable here. Alexander and Andriy, I know you're both busy, but can either of you review this? If you need/want an updated patch (specifically for 8.3 and 9.x), I can provide updated ones (will take me some time of course).
