Unfortunately, we then lose because the 'da' driver wants to try to read the disk's capacity, and that fails. So before I hack the loader to just duplicate the bits onto another disk, I was wondering if anyone's already written a tool to do this that uses eg. the passthrough device... -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
