The driver is=20 now full up-to-date for FreeBSD-5.0. ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/roudier/drivers/freebsd/experimental/sym-1.4.0-200003= 22.tar.gz (Modulo mistakes in the URL:)) Another significant change in this driver version applies=20 to the checking of the data direction. The driver is now=20 able to check against the expected data direction in any=20 circumstances (even from SCRIPTS) and will not hang either if direction is wrong at the start of the IO, or if for=20 some weird reason, the direction changes during the IO. Even if the code looks just perfect to me :), some additionnal=20 testings are needed prior to committing this new driver=20 version to the kernel repository. sym-1.4.0-20000322 is still an experimental driver version. I have tried it under 4.0, but the driver should also be ok=20 for -current (5.0 development). Thanks, in advance, for trying this new driver version and=20 reporting me problems, if any.
