Actually you only need to open it for write, I usually use: true > /dev/da2 The problem here is, quite simply, that nobody tells GEOM that a card has been inserted. opening for a write and then closing it forces a retaste because metadata blocks could have been written. The correct fix for this is to have scsi_da tell geom that the card was inserted. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
