hi there,
i stumbled upon this note in the BUGS section of the cd(4) manual:
"There is no mechanism currently to set different minimum and maximum
timeouts for different CD changers; the timeout values set by the kernel
options or the sysctl variables apply to all LUN-based CD changers in the
system. It is possible to implement such support, but the sysctl imple-
mentation at least would be rather inelegant, because of the current
inability of the sysctl code to handle the addition of nodes after com-
pile time. Thus, it would take one dynamically sized sysctl variable and
a userland utility to get/set the timeout values. Implementation of sep-
arate timeouts for different CD devices in the kernel config file would
likely require modification of config(8) to support the two timeouts when
hardwiring cd devices."
does this limitation still exist?
cheers.
alex
