IOSCAN

[Nobody's Hero]

When I run an `ioscan -fnC disk`,
What does the second column represent? the "I" column?

Robert,

It's the instance number.

Hi

The column I is for the Instance number.

Maybe I should add, from the man page:

"It is a unique number assigned to a card or device within a class. If no driver is available for the hardware component or an error occurs binding the driver, the kernel will not assign an instance number and a (-1), is listed."
