Apparently that depends on the driver and gets more twists when you consider standard UNIX devices (i.e. devsw), pseudo devices and cloning. I don't think that there is already a common understanding how this is "supposed" to work. Having experienced the recent modularization of raidframe(4), I also doubt that all the existing modular drivers actually work when loaded from the command line (or via autoload, as is done for devsw and filesystems). -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
