As i wrote in another article: i will start rewriting it as a Perl script first (using scsi(8) and dd(1)), and once it works, i'll look into how it could be stuffed into a kernel interface. It's likely that the final solution will consist of a wormcontrol(8) command, and a dd(1) to actually write the data. Perhaps a wrapper like cdwrite(1) is useful, too. Btw., FreeBSD has got rtprio(8), which might be useful for this purpose. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
