Of what? It means that someone should update this driver. But unless you are using y= our parallel port for IP traffic (and who does these days?) it won't bother you. =20 > 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...
