I plugged in a new Optane and booted FreeBSD on the ThreadRipper 1950X system but FreeBSD did not show the drive in gpart show. (It is unique by size in the context and so would be hard to miss for anything that listed sizes. Lack of listing a size would also stand out.) So I did what I've done in the past: shutdown FreeBSD, boot Windows 10, go to its disk management utility, answer its prompt for MBR vs. GPT for the new device (picking GPT), shutdown Windows 10. Then boot FreeBSD again --and the new drive shows up. Is there a way to avoid the round trip through Windows 10 (or any other such round trip going outside FreeBSD)? I'm just curious if I've missed something: My work around enables my activity.
