hi there,

could somebody explain the following behavior running a recent CURRENT on amd64?

otaku% sysctl kern.devstat     
kern.devstat.numdevs: 6
kern.devstat.generation: 222
kern.devstat.version: 6
otaku% sysctl kern.devstat.all
otaku% echo $?                     
0
otaku% sysctl -d kern.devstat.all  
kern.devstat.all: All devices in the devstat list

cheers.
alex
