I notice that the /dev/smbX devices are exclusive access. This makes it impossible to run two (or more) programs concurrently that want to talk to SMbus devices (in my case, healthd and lmmon, both of which want to open /dev/smb0 to access the LM78). Is this an SMbus restriction, or an artifact of the smb driver? I did a very quick scan through /sys/dev/smbus/* and nothing jumped out to indicate why it needs to be exclusive access. --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
