Description Keith White 2014-05-14 01:00:00 UTC 
In embedded platforms (Beaglebone Black in particular) there are uncommitted LEDs that might be useful to have display "disk" activity.  The attached patch adds a kern.geom.disk.%s.activity_led SYSCTL that could be used for this purpose.

Apply the attached patch.

Add the following to your KERNCONF:

  options         GEOM_DISK_ACTIVITY_LED  # blinky lights for GEOM disk access

Add the following to /boot/loader.conf on that platform to have blinky lights for SD/MMC access:

  kern.geom.disk.mmcsd0.activity_led="led2"
  kern.geom.disk.mmcsd1.activity_led="led1"

To have the LEDs default on, and go off for any activity, prefix the LED name with bang:

  kern.geom.disk.mmcsd0.activity_led="!led2"
  kern.geom.disk.mmcsd1.activity_led="!led1"

Fix: See above.

Comment 1 Keith White 2015-05-26 00:36:17 UTC 
With release later than roughly r283307 the BBB example becomes:

kern.geom.disk.mmcsd0.activity_led="beaglebone:green:mmc0"

With the APU led patch (see Bug 189772) an APU example might be:

kern.geom.disk.ada0.activity_led="!led1"
