GEOM tasting behaviour

[Jack]

Hi all,

I'm little bit  unclear about the GEOM tasting behaviour.
It would be helpful if someone could clarify it.

 Is it true that GEOM layer will always taste the (hard drive/tape
 drive)device whether we access device via cam pass driver or do block  access.
 In other words, say if we never do a block access(ie via da/ada/sa
devices)  on a particular device, and we only access this device via
cam pass driver,  will then GEOM  ever taste(e.g. for partition table,
etc. or for other purposes)   this device.?

 or is it something like, as soon as the device is attached, geom
layer  will always taste it - it doesn't matter how we access the
device.


Regards.
