If the controller is wd0 and the disks are wd0 and wd1, config gives a value of 3 for NWD. If the disks are called dk0 and dk1, the value of NWD is 1. Surely 2 is the desired figure? At present, I have wdattach() look for NWD-1 disks, but this is a hack... Slightly related question: at one point I had "swap on dk0" in the config file; this is wrong, it should be wd0. The consequence of this was that the system ran with no swap space. This is in fact a useful feature - one may have enough RAM to not need any swap. Is there an "approved" way to configure this? -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, Human Communication Research Centre, R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk Edinburgh University.
