Hello, I was browsing around the various websites on http://people.freebsd.org/ and stumbled upon the following patch for sysinstall: http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/sysinstall.vinum.patch As I'm sure you can infer from the filename, it allows the standard FreeBSD sysinstall utility to manipulate vinum configurations. Please pardon my ignorance, as I'm still very new to these low-level concepts, but would it be possible to create a similar patch for GEOM_ELI configurations? Would it be as simple as defining it as an available type? Or must other considerations be made? It seems the above-referenced patch deals only with the labelling, which means a new patch would be necessary to allow the .eli disk to be selected in the first place. After that though, wouldn't everything "just work"? Sincerely, Adam Wood
