hi there,
i already posted this message to freebsd-questions but didn't get any reply=
=2E
that's why i'm sending it to freebsd-current.
i have a question about gpart. when id do `gpart show ad0` i get the follow=
ing
output:
=3D> 34 488394988 ad0 GPT (233G)
34 20971486 1 freebsd-swap (10G)
20971520 467423502 2 freebsd-ufs (223G)
which is just what i want. however i'm a bit curious about the GPT header=
=2E
only the primary header from 0 - 33 is being shown. what about the
secondary/backup GPT header. is it present and just now shown by gpart or
doesn't it exist at all? if it's just not shown it would be great if gpart =
had
a verbose switch or something like that.
because in 7-STABLE e.g. `pt show ad0` also displays the secondary GPT head=
er
at the end of the disk.
cheers.
=2E..oh...and i'm running HEAD (r193846M). ;)
