Partitions from EBR have names like they were in FreeBSD prior to GEOM_PART. E.g. ad0s5, ad0s6,... But without this option they may be like these: > gpart show -p ada2s3 =3D> 0 1830660048 ada2s3 EBR (873G) 0 17767890 ada2s3+00000001 !6 (8.5G) 17767890 189 - free - (95K) 17768079 1023939 ada2s3+00282034 ntfs (500M) 18792018 1481207994 - free - (706G) 1500000012 1023939 ada2s3+23809525 fat32 (500M) 1501023951 204750 ada2s3+23825778 fat32 (100M) 1501228701 329431347 - free - (157G) > ls -1 /dev/ada2s3* /dev/ada2s3 /dev/ada2s3+00000001 /dev/ada2s3+00282034 /dev/ada2s3+23809525 /dev/ada2s3+23825778 So, do you recommend to change first sentence to: "The GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT option enables backward compatibility for partition names in the EBR scheme." >> +of the EBR scheme.

I think "It also allows such partitions to > be modified" might be what is intended? r216755 only allows destroy partition table, but you can not modify nor partition, nor partition table. --=20 WBR, Andrey V.
