Disks which delayed start won't get probed by GEOM when they are not ready when GEOM tries - at least one can delay booting in this case. Disks which don't startup unless told never get working - I currently start them manually in rc-scripts and tell GEOM to reprobe, but this is not always an option, e.g. in case of / drive. All in all this is very annoying since I have not much options about changing the disk spin-up policy. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
