I'm using DD disks about every other day and HD disks about once a week. Apart from lots of seeking (for which I don't understand the reason) when closing the device in DD mode, I don't have any problems with it. This is on 8.3-PRERELEASE. I really hope the driver will stay. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
