Ok, so we need to get the following at least: /usr/src/sys/cam/ ata/ common/ scsi/ for the directories. I see that, for example, cam_xpt.c contains the quirk table, perhaps we want to put this in a seperate file for each disksystem. Of course, all SCSI functions would need to move towards scsi/ with scsi_xpt.c being a more consistent name when it comes to that directory, or when given the names in cam/ cam_xpt_scsi.c like Justin says. Going by the scsi word in the files, we have at least these files to clean up: [asmodai@celestial] (15) $ grep -i scsi * | sed 's/\:.*//' | uniq cam.c cam.h cam_ccb.h cam_debug.h cam_periph.c cam_sim.c cam_sim.h cam_xpt.c I can only help with the splitting of the files, I am SCSI/ATA clueless when it comes to programming those systems. -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Abandon hope, all ye who enter here...
