This risk reopening the old religious war if drivers should poll their drives to be up to date on media existence. Practically all other modern operating systems do it, with the benefit that an icon can be flashed when you plug something in, (and in certain cases, so viruses can be autoinstalled without relying on user stupidity). I personally think it would make a lot of sense if FreeBSD moved in that way, but I've been told in no uncertain terms that this will speed up third coming and shake the very foundations of the unive^H^H^H^H^HCAM code. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
