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. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
