Re: Forcing GEOM to re-taste a device

It seems there is a timing problem. On insertion there are
complaints that there is no medium present when attempting to
discover the size of the device. It goes on to retry but eventually
bails out.

However sometimes (only once so far) it manages to successfully
retry and discover slices; presumably due to timing.

So I would like to force GEOM to re-taste the media ("camcontrol
rescand da0" is not enough). Is there a way to do this?
cat /dev/null > /dev/da0
That should retaste the device.
