Good point.. > * Shouldn't you only do the rebuild automatically if the raid type is > AR_F_FREEBSD_RAID? It's not necessary if it's hw raid, right? If you create the RAID from within FreeBSD on a running system it is needed for all controllers. I also need to defer access through *strategy while doing the setup, and let it loose when the build is running. > * Should this be optional so that it's not rebuilt every time you run > atacontrol create? Yes, this was a quick fix, I need an extra argument from atacontrol to flag rebuilding. I'm in the process of refining the RAID ioctl interface so that I can use it for the SuperTrak (ie intelligent) controllers as well, we dont need more XXXcontrol programs... -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
