The only ones I can think of are : NetBSD and OpenBSD, and I wouldn't be surprised if they grabbed : the CAM code soon anyway. The name of the drive device is going to : be at least OS specific, and really it's host specific (think about : wd versus sd), and will continue to be that way until the Unix : world unites under a common GPL'd standard. True. Solaris uses /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 format. Ultrix and DUX use rz for its devices. HP/UX uses volume groups to hide this. SunOS and OS/MP 4.x use sd for scsi disks. I think that IRIX and AIX use different names as well, but I'm not sure. Bottom line: I don't care.
