Is there a technical reason that geom is not automatically activated on every partition table? It seems to me that unifying these would reduce complexity and confusion to the end user. And I see no reason why the boot volume has this recognized and activated automatically, but other devices don't. -- Ariane ----- End forwarded message -----
