Can you point out how the behavior violates POSIX.2?

Dear Rogier & Terry,
I didn't say the behaviour contradicts Posix.2. I just said that Posix.2
specifies removal of the trailing slashes when doing directory operation.
Which, for example, freebsd 'rm' does not, which leads to a strange
behaviour. As I stated, I have tryied this on more

Path component operations are a mixed bag. They can occur partially
in user space, or they can occur in the kernel.

thanks for your patch - I think this _will_ be useful. Since there are
security implications in giving arbitrary jail root users access to their
own /dev/mem, /dev/kmem, and /dev/io devices, the ability to run `top`
without these items is very useful.

Could you also try the NetBDS's 'rm'? If it does work like FreeBDS, than

It doesn't, actually, it removes the symlink rather than the directory
it points at.

The problem is that we emulate ATAPI and UFI command sets through
converting SCSI commands. These command sets both do not have 6 byte

Have a look in the sys/dev/usb/umass.c driver and remove the check for
the CSW tag. I wouldn't be surprised if the firmware is buggered and
doesn't copy the tag from the incoming request into the outgoing packet.

I have data sheets on the following cards at present (the cards themselves
may be
outdated or unavailable as one of them is under a legacy tag on the
websites), and am
open to suggestions on alternative cards
