Hi all, while searching for details on setting up the plain disk workaround for raw disks not working in VMware on CURRENT I came across the uncommited kernel patch in pr kern/37227 that enables raw disk support: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/37227 I've patched my CURRENT box and it seems to work fine and I've booted off a raw partition several times. I'm going to try do more extensive testing tonight after I dump my partitions (just in case). Is anyone able to comment on why this has never been commited? Could it have possible nasty side effects or something? Maybe we could include it in the other uncommited patch that is nessesary to run the vmware3 port. Thanks, CJ van den Berg
