It's the incorrect, wrong name which would apply to a dangerously dedicated disk but that the kernel never should have lied about and allowed to refer to a properly partitioned disk. I'd prefer if all my disks were named "/dev/strawberry0a1b2c" followed by the letter of the slice, so should I ask for it to be so aliased? -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \'[ FreeBSD ]''''''''''\ <> green@FreeBSD.org <> bfeldman@tislabs.com \ The Power to Serve! \ Opinions expressed are my own. \,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
