Of what? It means that someone should update this driver. But unless you are using your parallel port for IP traffic (and who does these days?) it won't bother you. > Then, GEOM_LABEL: bunch of labels removed.... > Same question? The geom software now automatically assigns (unchanging) labels to UFS filesystems. This enables people to mount filesystems correctly even if the harddisk is moved to a different controller. E.g. /dev/da4s1g might become /dev/da6s1g, but its labeled device /dev/ufsid/482e0880cf225c60 would not change. The labels are removed if a partition is mounted, which the warning mentions. It is harmless. > And how to I get rid of the GEOM_LABEL: stuff - it seems unnecessary... You might have to dig into the geom code... :-) Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkqJq/UACgkQEnfvsMMhpyVa0ACfQ+ko44HCiXD9xB7P2LD9Iao5 YAsAoIiti0eRaP4JZg3L90Y4y9kjE2SQ =/X72 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
