We do know that people have ATA_STATIC_ID, because if they don't, this means they have their custom kernel config which doesn't contain ATA_CAM and when they will use it next time they recompile their kernel they will still have /dev/adX entries. Also, as Alexander already noted, because of all the problems with ATA naming over the years and for other reasons too, people often hardcode provider name in various GEOM classes metadata, so symlink won't help. --=20 Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheelsystems.com FreeBSD committer http://www.FreeBSD.org Am I Evil?
