--xHFwDpU9dbj6ez1V Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline For the record, I now know why raw disks don't work for FreeBSD 6 any more. The code that was put in the linuxlator to gloss over the fact that linux drives are block devices, but that we don't have block devices any more, was disabled in sys/compat/linux/linux_stats.c by phk on 15-Mar-05! I'll try and get it reinstated. Joe On Wed, Apr 19, 2006 at 02:37:08PM +0100, Josef Karthauser wrote: > Is there anyone here using vmware on FreeBSD 6? I can't get raw disk > support to work.
