I also think we don't need the per-bus mode. I don't understand why it was added in the first place. The vdev bus does not consider the bus scan mode, so the current behavior would not be broken if we removed it. >From a user pov (even before this series), -a/-b are mutually exclusive and --vdev lives in parallel. I'll see if it is as easy as I think and I have a try for the non RFC series for 26.07. -- David Marchand
