Message-ID: <20020728173044.GA14766@wwweasel.geeksrus.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'd like to add my Maxtor 80 and 160 gig drives. It might even be possible to script the add based on reading the current (synthetic) disktab for the numbers, and the /var/run/dmesg for the Manufacturer, model, and interface type (ESDI == ATAPI, SCSI). This (new drive type entries) is something that I would hope would be able to be added more or less simultaneously to -current and -stable. Final question, since most of the drive wizards hang out here: why is the default value for an unknown drive 3600 RPM? The low end of current drives seems to be 5400 for the last couple of years. -- AlanE KDE-FreeBSD Team To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
