No. Unfortunately, CAM is not newbus-ified, and thus will not send
devctl events. ATA disks will in 6.X and higher, though.

Yep. You should be able to work backwards through the CAM subsystem to
obtain this information. Take a look at the output of ``camcontrol
devlist -v''. The information is there, and you can use libcam to get
it.

Also, will devd generate events for the attachment of a da[0-9]
device? Right now it seems as though it doesn't and that is
problematic. The issue is this. If I attach my usb pendrive to my
computer it gets devices umass0 and da0. But if I attach a firewire
device first then my usb pendrive is umass0, da1. So, if events aren't
generated to say that da1 has become available then I have to figure
out what umass0 is connected to.
Thanks in advance

Firewire + 5-STABLE + devd?
Hi,
I'm trying to get my hotplug utility, which works well with usb
devices, to work with firewire devices under 5-STABLE. But when I devd
doesn't seem to do anything with firewire devices and when I cat
/dev/devctl I get get nothing on firewire. Is there a sysctl I can
tune or do I need to upgrade to the 6-{RELEASE,CURRENT} branch?
