The change WILL NOT AFFECT your scripts, UNLESS you are using the
compiled-in default devices in tar, dump or restore.
The major and minor numbers of the devices are the same, so you can
continue to use the same device names. This is from my primary development
box, which runs CAM:
{roadwarrior:/usr/home/ken:5:1} df -k -t ufs
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sd0s2a 63503 53239 5184 91% /
/dev/sd0s2e 198399 26052 156476 14% /var
/dev/sd0s2f 3290562 2796241 231077 92% /usr
/dev/sd1s1a 4304834 3678735 281713 93% /a
I'm sorry to have to use caps, but many people have the wrong ideas
about this change.
