Oh, I just forgot, the ioctl interface actually came into use because the old SCSI system used that, and the ATAPI cd driver wanted to use the same userland util to be compatible. Now CAM did away with native burner support, and the interface sortof stayed in the ATAPI world. Agreed it could have been changed to use ATAPI cmds along the line instead of ioctl's, but both methods has its good and weak sides, and time went by... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
