Thanks! You have pointed me away from a bogus assumption that was held over from V7. I have confirmed that, when a UFS device is mounted under the /dev/ufs/label, the entry stays. The problem is different on V8, but presents itself in the same way. The problem is that every mount and umount of a UFS file system causes a devd event for the CREATE of /dev/da0s2d. Never a DESTROY, but a CREATE every time I either mount or umount the device. So the real issue is "Why is there a devd CREATE whenever the device is mounted or unmounted by the /dev/ufs entry. I just tried an msdosfs system and no create of the hardware device. So the real question is "Why is there a devd create for the hardware device (e.g. /dev/da0s2d). I suspect this is related to the partition as the slice is only created once. Still something's odd with UFS. Devices should no be repeatedly created without ever being destroyed. -- R.
