Also it breaks binary compatibility with the ATA tools, so you would have to recompile them. Soren and the release engineering team are authoritive in that area, I don't know what the planning looks like at the moment. At the moment your best bet is to get 6.0-BETA2 and see if it works for you. If it doesn't, we need to fix it :-) - Christian --=20 Christian Brueffer chris@unixpages.org brueffer@FreeBSD.org GPG Key: http://people.freebsd.org/~brueffer/brueffer.key.asc GPG Fingerprint: A5C8 2099 19FF AACA F41B B29B 6C76 178C A0ED 982D --65ImJOski3p8EhYV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFC/R/rbHYXjKDtmC0RAh6mAJkB27TYp2ayyMS7/PuUqWB6IBRY8gCgj/s6 jEvZ4HNkMEyp0uCEpy80oe0= =zjc/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --65ImJOski3p8EhYV--
