I belive GEOM will now correctly identify the following label formats on all platforms: MSDOS MBR MSDOS MBR extended partitions FreeBSD/i386 disklabel FreeBSD/alpha disklabel Solaris/disklabel This in practice means that one can move a disk from one architecture to another and get at the slices/partitions etc. This also means that I belive GEOM will DTRT for -current users for a long stretch of the road, and would therefore encourage more people to please test it out. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
