Why would you want to define "correct" numbering the non-spread-out numbering? Or did I misunderstand you? I have all my disks as master drives on the channels. Now, when I hook up another disk for backup or maintenance purposes, my numbering is messed up. With spread-out numbering I do not have to worry about anything... sounds more "correct" to me. -- Dieter Rothacker To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
