I understand the warning is harmless for little
endian systems and that there are no big endian
kfreebsd systems yet.
(I googled for the reason and history of the
32 bit field. Dragonfly ancestry ?)
------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile i have the opportunity to test on
a FreeBSD 8.0 system.
This rises some questions about kfreebsd
defaults:
- Is kernel module atapicam enabled by default ?
It allows to use ATAPI CD ROM drives via
SCSI/MMC commands. A bit similar to Linux
ide-scsi which we used on 2.4 for IDE drives.
Other than on Linux, the modern SATA drives
appear as ATAPI devices under FreeBSD 8.0.
atapicam makes the situations on Linux and
FreeBSD much more similar. None of the usual
open source burn programs works without
atapicam.
- Are ACL enabled for individual filesystems by
default ?
On the FreeBSD system there is ACL support in
the OS but the API calls return EOPNOTSUPP
which means that the filesystem instance does
not allow ACL.
This might make it cumbersome to restore data
backups from Linux filesystems to FreeBSD
filesystems.
(I will have to learn how to enable ACL.)
Have a nice day :)
