The following reply was made to PR bin/145309; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Yar Tikhiy <yar@freebsd.org> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/145309: bsdlabel: Editing disk label invalidates the whole device Date: Sat, 4 Feb 2012 14:17:15 +1100 Hi there, Sorry but FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE still appears to have this issue. When installed using BSD label partitioning scheme, a modification to ada0's label seems to nuke the kernel's view of the disk -- I can't think of a better way to explain it. The disk itself is OK and the change makes it OK to the disk but the kernel can no more use the root partition until rebooted, returning weird errnos such as EIO or EXIO. No idea here if the bug is limited to BSD label scheme. Cheers, Yar
