Actually, you don't have to do that. Some of my machines do, and some don't. My primary box at work still has /dev/*sd* in /etc/fstab. It doesn't really matter, but I guess it would help to keep the sd names if you switch back and forth between regular -current and CAM kernels. > > I'm on freebsd-scsi, and its kinda dead...is there a place that > > this is better to discuss it on, as well as see patches going through? > > The patches aren't much of anything, just the last snap fitted to -current > and kept up to date with CVS.

(Hope I've cleared myself > and the CAM team. :)) You're clear. :) We should probably put out patches more often, but a number of things get in the way sometimes. Here's a short list.. - the urge to wait until we get "just one more feature" in before the snapshot... - lack of (Justin's) time - occasional -current instability Ken -- Kenneth Merry ken@plutotech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
