https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D162690 --- Comment #7 from Ben RUBSON <ben.rubson@gmail.com> --- I found a workaround for glabel. At the end of sbin/geom/class/label/geom_label.c, in label_dump, right after label_metadata_dump(&md); I added the following : int fd =3D g_open(name, 1); if (fd !=3D -1) (void)g_close(fd); Then, 'glabel dump /dev/da*' will refresh labels. Trick also works with GPT, if you g_open(device, 1), labels will be refresh= ed. Perhaps we could add a glabel refresh option which would simply open/close devices in order to refresh their labels ? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
