They do all show up as 'DISK' GEOM's however (I also hacked on a GEOM-based libdisk replacement at one point, though probably less developed than Marcel's. I used libgeom to discover DISK devices.) Given that disk_create() already hooks into GEOM, that is probably the right way to discover disks in a generic fashion. -- John Baldwin
