From: Christopher Sean Hilton To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, estartu@augusta.de Cc: Subject: Re: kern/93083: [firewire] Detach of Firewire Harddisk not recognied properly Date: Sun, 09 Apr 2006 22:18:28 -0400 This appears to be "normal" behaviour for the firewire code in FreeBSD. To convince a firewire drive to detach Initiate a firewire bus reset with the fwcontrol command. To reset the bus use the -r command three times in succession. It's a kludge but it works. # fwcontrol -r # fwcontrol -r # fwcontrol -r -- Chris -- Chris Hilton chris-at-vindaloo-dot-com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "All I was doing was trying to get home from work!" -- Rosa Parks
