This issue is related to: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=161752 >Fix: true > /dev/da1p1 Must in my opinion be done automatically by the application itself which does the change to the GEOM. No offence, but some arguments to implement "true > $DevicePart" into the affected GEOM apps: o Can't expect a regular user to change that if he/she/it uses Hot Plug & Play or changes a label through one of the GEOM apps. o Nether is it documented in any of the apps relying on GEOM [please don't start documenting it - that's not the right way! ;) ] o What's the use of a framework if it doesn't provide internal a working interface to update relying apps of changes?
