Now there is projects/zfsd branch that is doing alike things (disk auto-insertion and hot spares) specifically for the case of ZFS. It also uses devctl interface to receive events, but user-level part (zfsd itself) is tightly hardcoded to talk to ZFS, fetching statuses and making control actions. Not sure whether this functionality could be scripted within geom-events, but having single mechanism indeed would be nice. -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
