For example, on quarm I have a Sun > A5000 on a fibre channel loop: Hmm... I guess I was confusing this with the S.M.A.R.T. stuff that is supposed to give you a kind of pre-emptive warning that bad things are going to happen (or have happened, rather... i.e. the drive starts reallocating a bunch of blocks or senses some other kind of internal problem). Will what you've done at least allow the nifty "I'm OK" LED to light up on the hot-swap disk tray like it does on the NT boxen? *duck* :-) On a similar note, I guess, how exactly _would_ you query a drive about its SMART status in FreeBSD? It would be neat to have the status LEDs on the drive trays reflect the health of the drive. If I read your description of the SAF-TE/SES stuff right, that is what would be used to twiddle the LED off/on. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
