Thanks! I've received basically this patch from a couple people now. I'm
going to investigate whether this is a more generic way to get this
information (so the list doesn't grow infinitely long), and will commit
this if I can't. Having CAM devices be part of newbus would simplify
this a very great deal...
Note that all these disk devices are not CAM devices, so CAM changing to
use new-bus wouldn't really matter one whit. They do all show up as 'DISK'
GEOM's however (I also hacked on a GEOM-based libdisk replacement at one
point, though probably less developed than Marcel's. I used libgeom to
discover DISK devices.) Given that disk_create() already hooks into GEOM,
that is probably the right way to discover disks in a generic fashion.
Right, stepping through that is how I build the list. Adding a device
description to the XML actually seems like a good idea (and maybe the
drive serial number?). Would anyone have any objections to me starting
to go through and do that?
