From: Poul-Henning Kamp Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2002 15:55:20 +0100 Message-ID: <61229.1016981720@critter.freebsd.dk> Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I belive that alpha BSD disklabels are now correctly handled in GEOM and would therefore appreciate if somebody could enable the GEOM option in a current kernel and tell me if I am right or not. Further more, if somebody could try to swap disks between an alpha and an i386 and tell me if the both recognize the "alien" disklabels when GEOM is enabled, that would be doubly nice. In fact, for ultimate h0h0 effect, you can try to stick a disk from a solaris machine into your alpha: it should recognize the partitioning on that as well. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
