Still... looks very strange. That shouldn't be neccessary on modern FreeBSD as it hadn't been any problem on "old-fashioned" FreeBSD. Besides that, I'm not using GEOM for anything important, as I keep things "old-fashioned", even mounting media is not automated (as I do consider this a security risk). As I'm mainly working with "outdated" stuff, I don't rely on the latest modern technology for partitioning. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
