Perhaps it would be a solution to select the 'least value'-partition in this case - postulating that /dev/da1s1 >= /dev/da1s1c >= /dev/da1s1[a-b,d-h] (which is always the case). In the moment the opposite is the case and geom_vinum opens /dev/da1s1 in that situation :-( I don't know, if, when opening /dev/da1s1a for writing, GEOM triggers a spoil event as well because GEOM *is aware* that da1s1a is in fact the same as da1s1c resp. da1s1. Does anybody (Lukas/Pawel/phk) know? -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette <msch [at] snafu.de>, Berlin (Germany) PGP-Key at <pgp.mit.edu> and <wwwkeys.de.pgp.net> ID: 0xDDFB0A5F
