If the disks will only be used in FreeBSD systems, and you are using the entire disk for ZFS (no partitioning), then glabel works well, and is the easiest to use. If you want to be able to move the disks between FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, Solaris, ZFS-FUSE on Linux, etc, then you need to use GPT labels. glabel is not portable. I have not used gpart, so don't know if you can label the disk or just partitions on the disk. --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
