This is too few for some users. (1) With no MCAM device node, apps report there is no H/W. Since this is SCSI, admins tend to think that there is something wrong with cabling. (2) There is no obvious way to "fix" the problem. It took me a while to figure out why some apps are failing to see some SCSI devices. >How-To-Repeat: Install 4.0-RELEASE. Add a SCSI card. Add 4 SCSI drives on ID=0 - 3. Add Tape drive on ID=5. Add CD-Writer driveon ID=6. Use cdrecord. cdrecord can not find the CD-Writer drive. >Fix: run "cd /dev;sh ./MAKEDEV mcam4;sh ./MAKEDEV mcam5" It would be really nice if sysinstall or start up rc scripts detect the number of scsi devices and create MCAM devices if missing in /dev >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
