You have atapicam as a kernel module; and what version of atapi-cam.c?

It looks like this one is current: Revision 1.54 

found here: 

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c?rev=1.54

But! the cvsweb seems to say that someone name scottl last touched it:

#include <sys/cdefs.h>
__FBSDID("$FreeBSD: /repoman/r/ncvs/src/sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,v 1.54
2007/05/02 15:30:24 scottl Exp $");

Where I have this:

#include <sys/cdefs.h>
__FBSDID("$FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,v 1.42.2.5 2007/05/15
16:19:42 thomas Exp $");

On: 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE

So, Oliver, you are using (I think) the file touched by scottl on
2007/05/02?

Is that correct?

No, I've always compiled it statically in my kernel.

That's the HEAD version (in 7-current).

The version is RELENG_6 is 1.42.2.5, which is practically
identical to 1.53.  And the only difference between 1.53
and 1.54 (HEAD) is MPSAFE work by Scott Long.

No, as I wrote, I'm using RELENG_6.

By the way, I am _not_ using k3b or any other krap.  ;-)

Best regards

Thanks for the reply. Mea culpa, I failed to mention that the
individual file cannot be spread over different media. After archiving
to DVD I than catalog the photos on a Windows machine using Portfolio.

My photographer will get calls years later from brides wanting a
certain picture or two. Using Portfolio she can call up the picture and
it will request the specific DVD be installed. 

I am archiving photos that are in .jpg, .dng (digital negative), .crw
(canon raw), etc. Some of the .dng files are 26MB each and the .jpg are
between 5 and 8MB each. I guess the brides like the details (bigger
must be better) ;-)

I did google dirsplit and I did not see if you are able to maintain
file integrity. 

As I said earlier, K3B is a very good tool for my purposes.

Thanks 
Robert
