https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D220163 Bug ID: 220163 Summary: Allowed characters in UFS volume labels using /sbin/newfs Product: Base System Version: 11.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd.bug@nagykeve.e4ward.com The official FreeBSD memstick image contains an UFS volume labelled "FreeBSD_Install", and such a volume shows up under /dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install nicely. Try to create such an UFS volume using "newfs -L 'FreeBSD_Install' /dev/da0= s1" and it will fail, claiming that the underscore is not allowed in the label. If underscores are valid characters for use in an UFS label then newfs need= s to be fixed to accept them. If underscores are NOT valid characters for use in an UFS label then offici= al FreeBSD install media SHOULD NOT be distributed using such labels, because = it is a bad example. Affects 11.0-RELEASE + 10.3-RELEASE, probably more. This is a low priority issue, but it should be clarified sooner or later because at its current state this is inconsistent and confusing. Although, = very likely NOT many people lose sleep over this. :) Regards, Keve Nagy * Debrecen * Hungary --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
