I once wrote a GEOM module to slice xbox360 media (kern/107707), which only works if you first kldload it and _then_ plug in the media. This is caused by pp->mediasize == 0 in the taste function. Note that you'll need a physical harddisk for the test because the behaviour is always correct when using md images. I suspect that the bug is near /sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c Thanks, Rene -- GPG fingerprint = E738 5471 D185 7013 0EE0 4FC8 3C1D 6F83 12E1 84F6 (subkeys.pgp.net) "It won't fit on the line." -- me, 2001
