We took out buffered devices. I suppose this has something to do with bufdaemon. Is there any doc on bufdaemon and syncer? I noticed the change in MAKDEV, however when creating SCSI devices, only character devices were created, yet the filesystems wouldn't mount. Manually creating the appropriate block SCSI da devices fixed my problem. May I conclude that CAM SCSI doesn't use bufdaemon? And may I assume FreeBSD will be using bufdaemon with SCSI in the future?
