Caimaniacs, In looking at some solutions for 8558 which would allow SUNWemlxs to stay on the media, I'm seeing frequent hangs in the disks screen as it's waiting for target discovery to complete. As I've been looking through some code to figure out how it could hang in order to understand what I might do about it, I notice that libdiskmgt has an environment variable, _LIBDISKMGT_INSTALL, which can be used to prevent libdiskmgt from hooking into the sysevents for notification of new devices. Digging around, I see that the old Solaris installer does use this variable, but we're not. Im assuming in the Solaris case it was to avoid putting something additional into the miniroot, but I haven't gone off and researched that. Anyone have a reason why we aren't using it in Caiman (and why we shouldn't, since it seems to reduce memory usage of the installer somewhat)? I didn't find anything in the target discovery design doc.
