I wonder if it would be smarter to collect all these in one geom class rather than have one for each volume label metadata format, having it in one GEOM class would simplify name-collision handling. On the other hand, name collisions are already passively neutered in DEVFS, so if we can live with "Don't do that then" handling of it, then there is no reason to not have them as different GEOM classes, which certainly makes for simpler and cleaner code. (Summary: Do it whatever way you prefer :-) Poul-Henning PS: I would love to see handling of ISO 9660 (CDROM) volume labels as well. PPS: When you commit, please put it in a subcatalog under sys/geom. -- 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.
