Hi Pawel, Pawel Jakub Dawidek wrote: > Does anything change between you upgrade from BETA3 and RC1?

Nope, it was a clean BETA3 installation with the default GENERIC kernel which has afaik geom_label in kernel, but not geom_mirror (nevertheless I loaded geom_label.ko at boottime as well as geom_mirror) The same with RC1 - clean and fresh installation with the default GENERIC kernel and geom_label in kernel (default), but still loaded as module at boottime as well as geom_mirror. > Could you test this patch: > > http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/improved_taste.patch This makes gmirror+glabel work again on RC1 One thing which I noticed. I labeled in single user mode, my root partition with tunefs - as well as all my other partitions. After this was done, I remounted my root partition (mount -rw /) and changed my fstab to use the new geom labels instead. But somehow this "killed" the new root-label of my mirror/gm0s1a partition. After I rebooted, the label was gone and I had to manually specify the root partition ufs:mirror/gm0s1a to mount. All the labels of my other mirrored partitions where there (usr, tmp, var). I then rebooted once more into single user mode (specified once more the root partition manually) and did a tunefs -L once more. Then I rebooted directly and the label is now there. Is it possible that mount -rw / (which remounts /dev/mirror/gm0s1a) could have been killed the freshly given label? -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/
