From: Poul-Henning Kamp Date: Wed, 24 Nov 1999 19:50:34 +0100 Message-ID: <36126.943469434@critter.freebsd.dk> Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I belive I have now fully assimilated the bdevs into the cdevs in the kernel. This means that we have reached the day where it should be of no consequence if you mount /dev/wd0a or /dev/rwd0a. Vinum users: Don't do anything to your vinum configuration until grog tells you it is OK! To test this, take your /etc/fstab file and put a 'r' in front of the device names, ie. change: /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 to /dev/rad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 ^ and reboot and see if your system feels any different. If I don't hear reports of trouble, I will go a head with the semifinal and final steps of the operation: change MAKEDEV / sysinstall to create only cdevs. Make the bmaj -> cmaj table static and historical and remove the d_bmaj field from cdevsw.
