(cc'ed to -scsi) Hello, A couple of committers & I were working last July (2001) with support for the Olympus E-10 digital camera in FreeBSD. This is a USB device. I just saw some commits in cam/scsi_da for Nikon & I'm wondering what the situation is wrt Olympus? The problem I was having was that even though FreeBSD (then 4.3-stable) would recognise the camera, if I tried to mount() it the os would reboot(!) :(( No panic, no nothing, just a hard freeze & rebooting. Obviously, this is Very Very Bad. I've seen Linux (2.4-something) working with this just fine. Linux sees this camera as a SCSI device with a MS-DOS filesystem. I'm now running a 4.5-PRERELEASE & wonder if, assuming this hasn't been fixed since 4.3, that this might be fixed in 4.5? At least if the camera isn't/can't be supported in time (for 4.5), is there some way we could at least protect the system from the rebooting? I can probably help test. I'm thinking of filing a PR, but seek advice before doing that. Many thanks, -kc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
