I have worked on a storage product before where there was a requirement to reprogram the firmware of hard drives. On tha product= , proprietary Windows tools had to be used. It would have been nice to be able to use camcontrol in FreeBSD. I think the patch is fine in its current form. Very few "regular users" need to reprogram hard drive firmware. It is a special administrative operation. --=20 Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
