They don't want other drives moved around. This is the situation that the external SCSI disc case owners live with for years now, and was the reason device wiring was introduced for SCSI devices. Soeren said that the same mechanism could be added for atapi devices as well (yet better, extended to include the atapi devices as well). He just doesn't currently have time to do it right now. /Marino > Ciao, > Sheldon. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
