One more thing:) If I read code correctly, new provider has different name than the original one. If my userland tool send command to my class and my class tries to find provider by name by scaning existing geoms, it won't find it, because provider's name is different. Wouldn't it better to change old provider's name and use the name old provider had for new provider? Sounds hackish... Another thing that comes to my mind is possibility to create providers that are not represented in /dev/. Name collision wouldn't be a problem then. Also, it seems nicer to not polute /dev/ with such proxy-providers. -- Pawel Jakub Dawidek http://www.wheelsystems.com p...@freebsd.org http://www.FreeBSD.org FreeBSD committer Am I Evil? Yes, I Am!
