It's great to see the driver be modularised since removing unneeded drivers (for example, on powerpc and embedded platforms) can save ~200KB. Yep, thats the main idea behind this move, minimizing the footprint. With this and some of the _NO_ options to the world build an almost reasonable sized FreeBSD can be made. FreeBSD seems to have grown *alot* of fat over the last years, not to mention ports where installing one small application gets you both a pony and a barn to keep it in as a bonus 8^) Could you add some documentation for the modules in /sys/conf/NOTES please? I looked through the sources and put together the patch for 8.0 which is avaiable at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/133162 but it sounds like some more drivers will need to be added for 7.2. Good catch, included in my WIP here, when/if I get to put up another release of this it will be in there, thanks! PS: For official inclusion in FreeBSD someone with a commit bit will have to look into this. -Søren -- ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

ATA driver update for 7.2RELEASE available
