People are used to CAM-devices getting enumerated as da0, da1, etc. All the documentation talks about ad0 for ATA and da0 (plus camcontrol) for SCSI, USB, Firewire devices. We also have fd0 and cd0 and should stick to two-letter-plus-number codes. So either make them all ad0 or da0. I'd vote for the latter, as that is what Linux is doing (more or less) and people are already familiar with USB drives or new SATA drives showing up as "SCSI drives, so they get the SCSI names". Anyway, thanks for the work and your consideration! The sooner we can unify the disk drive namespace, the better. Unrelated question: will it be possible to assign/reserve daX for specific busses? Like say all USB/Firewire devices will start at da9? Cheers, Ulrich Spörlein -- http://www.dubistterrorist.de/Received on Sat Jun 27 2009 - 12:14:14 UTC
