Message-ID: X-try-apsfilter: ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz X-Fax: +49 2137 2018 X-Phone: +49 2137 2020 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I think MAKEDEV isn't prepared yet, to use the super scsi device. The scsi man page says, The -p option can be used against the "super scsi" device /dev/scsi/super to probe all devices with a given SCSI lun on a given SCSI bus. The bus can be selected with the -b option and the default is 0. The lun can be selected with the -l option and the default is 0. See scsi(4) for a de- scription of the "super scsi" device. So it should be possible for me, to re-probe for a tape device after reboot, if I forgot to power on the tape. But what devices are all needed for this super scsi feature. Only /dev/scsi/super ? Which major minor numbers ? Thanks for any advice. BTW, this should definitively go into 2.2, if MAKEDEV would be fixed ...
