You'd want to bear Justin's comments inre: CAM in mind for the -current case, as the SCSI code in -current will ideally be retired shortly. OTOH, for -stable it's definitely a goer. If you can drum up a few words for the handbook people as well as the manpage, that'd be extremely desirable. > I also have sys/scsi/ch.c diffs to handle tape library barcoded volume > labels, but I think the author of the tape changer may already have > committed something of his own, so I need to do a little research first. Our 'chio' support was originally from NetBSD; I believe you'll want to talk to Jason Thorpe about that first. The same basic caveats apply with regard to CAM; if your changes can be integrated there as well, that'd be ideal. If you're having any difficulties in getting hold of the freshest CAM bits, let me know. I can arrange at least some of that sort of thing without having to distract Justin or Ken. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com
