The only "right" solution is for us to mandate that people down cards before ejecting them. The physical design of pccards basically gives us no other option. No matter how hard we try to get it "right" for spontaneous removal, we can't win that fight. Not to say we shouldn't try, but people should always hold foremost in their minds the fact that there is no complete solution for this, and the return on investment diminishes rapidly. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
