Don't bother talking to Joerg.

He's a certified loon, and thinks Solaris is correct by definition. He's insane. He thinks that anybody who does anything different from Solaris is by definition not just wrong, but actively evil, even when the "anything different" is clearly superior (ie he thinks that Solaris device naming is not only sane, but claims that everybody else should do it that way).

If you ever wondered why "cdrecord" takes a default device argument of the forma "dev=0,1,0" or other random numbers, it's Joerg.

So just ignore him. I hope the OpenSolaris lists have saner people around.
