Hi ATA as such is the same in 6.3+ 7.0 and -current, so yes MFC is a definite candidate. However, lets get it beaten into shape in -current first :) Rudimentary in that it has all the infrastructure sorted out in ATA, but there are features thats not supported yet, such as hotplug/ removal, that kind of things. For permanently attached devices it is fully functianal for data access etc, on the supported HW. -Søren On 11Apr, 2008, at 2:01 , Wes Morgan wrote: > On Thu, 10 Apr 2008, Søren Schmidt wrote: > >> Hi >> >> Yes, I'm working on port multiplier support and a commit of >> rudimentary support is imminent. > > Will PM support be something that is an MFC candidate?
