Hi, I noticed that when I attach a USB key fob, I don't get a devd message to say e.g. 'da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0'. Any objections to adding devd notifications to the CAM layer? It would allow us to automount such devices. Specifically I'm thinking that a program to change the running automounter map could be used. Of course, filesystems which could be removed at any time would have to use synchronous I/O completion and preferably a log-structured filesystem (see recent fsync/msdosfs bug and ohci problems). What do people think? Perhaps we could extrapolate this to when CDs are inserted into drives (one for Soren...) BMS
