Yes, I agree. The problem cannot be solved properly (and without possibly causing unwanted side-effects) in FreeBSD's driver. So this PR can be closed. If a desktop system or application (or part thereof) decides to use polling to detect disk changes, then that's ok (as long as the user has a way to disable it). But this is beyond the scope of the FreeBSD base system. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
