Another patch will be > submitted ;)) The best approach is to have bsdlabel go over the partitions and compare those with the XML of the GEOM stack. Then, on a partition basis, you invoke g_part gctlreqs to modify, delete and/or add partitions. When bootcode is to be installed, you invoke a gctlreq for that separately. This approach also works for fdisk(8). FYI, -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
