One of my test-disks, one of the cursed DTLA's started acting up and got moved down a notch in my test-hierarchy. I decided to examine it a bit closer and found out that the lid has a wedge shaped hole which makes it perfect for studying disksort() in action. Under the big white label is a small metal-sticker covering the hole, simply replace that with transparent tape: http://phk.freebsd.dk/misc/watch_disk.png Poul-Henning PS: Yes, you would be able to put one or two LEDs inside the disk if you wanted to do extreme case-modding :-) -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
