It forces either a re-tasting of all the geom providers. Also can have an optional path name of a specific device to re-taste, and I think it should also work with the other geom classes, so a gmirror taste would re-taste all the geom mirror providers. >> Other ideas: >> - geom snapshots (harder!) > > There is ports/sysutils/geomgui (which i wrote) Not snapshot like a photo, snapshot like 'point in time copy of storage'. >> - gnop additional options (add latency, etc, to mimic real devices) >> > > That could be an idea too. It would be very nice to be able to simulate a real hard disk.
