For some reason, /lib doesn't seem to exist in the Fixit environment on the livefs, which causes geom(8) utilities to malfunction. >How-To-Repeat: Run glabel(8) inside the livefs. You are not capable of creating new labels. >Fix: The following patch will cause the shell to automatically set the GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH variable, which causes the utilities to work properly. --- src/release/fixit.profile Thu Sep 2 15:40:34 2004 +++ src/release/fixit.profile Mon Jun 11 01:44:56 2007 @@ -8,6 +8,8 @@ export SCSI_MODES="/mnt2/usr/share/misc/scsi_modes" # the root MFS doesn't have /dev/nrsa0, pick a better default for mt(1) export TAPE=/mnt2/dev/nrsa0 +# make geom(8) utilities find their modules +export GEOM_LIBRARY_PATH="/mnt2/lib/geom" alias ls="ls -F" alias ll="ls -l" >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
