Hi all, I'm little bit unclear about the GEOM tasting behaviour. It would be helpful if someone could clarify it. Is it true that GEOM layer will always taste the (hard drive/tape drive)device whether we access device via cam pass driver or do block access. In other words, say if we never do a block access(ie via da/ada/sa devices) on a particular device, and we only access this device via cam pass driver, will then GEOM ever taste(e.g. for partition table, etc. or for other purposes) this device.? or is it something like, as soon as the device is attached, geom layer will always taste it - it doesn't matter how we access the device. Regards. -- Jack
