OK, I'll take a look at the find-disklabel code in both FreeBSD and NetBSD and try some experiments if it seems within my capabilities. As for being handy, I must reiterate that it most definitely is! I doubt I have any more free time than you do, but this feature is worth enough to me that I'm making some. Big data (not boot) LVD drives, multi-platform environment, interest in testing FreeBSD if it isn't too hard to set up... QED. Thanks again for the background, that saved me a fair bit of digging! --Ken To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
