New Revision: 219056
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/219056
Log:
Add the disk ident and a human-meaningful description (here, the disk model
string) to the geom_disk config XML so that they are easily accessible from
userland.
MFC after: 1 week
Not sure if you want to do this for mfi_disk.c, etc.? Logical disks in
mfi(4) have an optional volume name for example (the BIOS typically fills it
in with "RAID 5" or some such when you create a volume in the BIOS) that
might be worth exporting as the description for mfidX devices.
Not sure about other disk devices such as twed.
I'm not as familiar with all the various RAID modules. I've started
making patches to set d_descr to things like "Adaptec RAID Volume" for
now, but would be interested to know if there is something better in
individual cases.
