> In some scenarios, it can be desirable to newfs first, geom later. In particular, moving to root-on-gmirror or root-on-glabel after an installation using standard FreeBSD installation media. Not having to jump between two disks or otherwise jumping through hoops would be very nice. A newfs arg would be controllable through the standard installer, thus making this a lot easier. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
