I ALWAYS specify the device just to keep myself sane. I would prefer the default to be throw-up verbosely! That way, I would make fewer mistakes! So, the default devices for tar, dump, and, restore are to change to the CAM device names. OK. Will 'MAKEDEV all' continue to create the (r)sd and (r)st device files? I don't care what new device names there are, as long as the (r)sd and (r)st device files continue to exist and have the proper major and minor numbers. I have scripts that are used on multiple systems, not just FreeBSD. Do I need to detect the system name in the scripts to keep them portable? tomdean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
