Hi all, Executing the following commands on any valid storage device seems to cause "media size does not match label" kernel messages (FreeBSD 8.2 amd64). I understand why they happen - glabel metadata occupies the last sector, so bsdlabel sees a device that is 1 sector smaller than what the kernel sees. The question is whether there is some simple way of suppressing these messages, since they come up every time the system is booted or the partition is mounted/unmounted: # glabel label vol0 ada1 # bsdlabel -w /dev/label/vol0 GEOM: ada1: media size does not match label. # newfs /dev/label/vol0a # mount /dev/label/vol0a /mnt GEOM: ada1: media size does not match label. # umount /mnt GEOM: ada1: media size does not match label. As you can see, I'm not using MBR or GPT partitioning schemes. I try to avoid those unless I plan on sharing the media with another OS. Even if using gpart would get rid of these errors (not sure, since then you'll just have a partition whose size doesn't match), I would still prefer to find some other way to suppress them. - Max
