I like your parallel development paradigm; I guess the challenge is
keeping POLA correspondence with equivalent sysinstall functionality,
without being stuck with some of sysinstall's, er, quirkiness.

Appreciate the GEOM stuff being essential for today's RAID setups, but
maybe you could show equivalent device nodes, in brackets as it were,
as well as geom_labels, for we ancient reptiles too?

More power to you.

Cheers, Ian
