>So, I think it would be nice if 128 bit WWN could also be handled. Well, don't call it a WWN. Call it, perhaps, a "devid". Make the specification of what exactly a "devid" is flexible so it can be composed for non-SCSI devices, and you are on the right track. 128bits may be too small for some types of devices or if you want to add other information besides the WWN to the "devid". "devids" should not be exported through libcam, but through a more generic interface. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
