Granted, it has some limitations but it was the only working way of getting a decent partitioning on x86 platfrom until GPT was introduced. Stripping it out from sysinstall wouldn't be benefitable at all. Bsdlabels work great in some situations, e.g. I use them for embedded devices where bios is custom build and can successfully boot from bsdlabel-partitioned disk. --=20 Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE --Signature=_Tue__21_Oct_2008_12_25_44_+0400_VYVKjI.06Nrmie1m Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkj9kggACgkQK/VZk+smlYHRjgCfYv3HkP2ingKNy76K0eW3B+F5 //sAn3O/f81mYUVrqXL70HEkuwfnT51I =KjqO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Tue__21_Oct_2008_12_25_44_+0400_VYVKjI.06Nrmie1m-- From owner-freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Oct 22 01:23:33 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-arch@FreeBSD.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 776801065671 for ; Wed, 22 Oct 2008 01:23:33 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from scf@FreeBSD.org) Received: from mail.farley.org (farley.org [67.64.95.201]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4324C8FC0C for ; Wed, 22 Oct 2008 01:23:32 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from scf@FreeBSD.org) Received: from thor.farley.org (HPooka@thor.farley.org [192.168.1.5]) by mail.farley.org (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id m9M15LZr041423 for ; Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:05:21 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from scf@FreeBSD.org) Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:05:21 -0500 (CDT) From: "Sean C.

The user's home directory is not being created nor deleted. >From looking at the code, it appears that this is intended. I would expect it to look in the new /etc directory for all needed files (i.e., skel) to create the directory, but this is prevented due to the _altdir flag[1]. Would anyone know the full story behind this behavior when -V is provided? Before I change this, I would like to know all the consequences. It happened only over nine years ago; I am sure it is fresh in everyone's memory. ;) The only apparent issue I see is if the user added to the alternate /etc files has the same UID and/or GID of an existing user in the base system. If I change anything I think I should make -V apply to all /etc files (i.e., opiekeys, skel). They can always be overridden if desired.
