>Description:
(scsi) cd device driver pre-creates devstat entry before
calling geom disk_create() and sets device type to
DEVSTAT_TYPE_CDROM|DEVSTAT_TYPE_IF_SCSI, which is perfect IMHO. On the
other hand, da and ad drivers rely on disk_create() to create a devstat
entry and it is created with device type DEVSTAT_TYPE_DIRECT, which is
not incorrect but is not complete either:
iostat -d -t SCSI or iostat -d -t IDE
wouldn't show any ad or da devices, only cd
>How-To-Repeat:
1. on a system with ad or da or both disks do the following:
iostat -d -t SCSI
iostat -d -t IDE

Result:
no ad/da devices are shown contrary to iostat(1) and reasonable expectations.
