When native, we do not use disklabel because: 1) GPT has 16384 partitions without any complications, so there is no need to subdivide one into freebsd disklabel slices 2) GPT is fully 64 bit LBA 3) disklabel is 32 bit LBA so adding disklabel restricts it to 32 bit (1TB) sized chunks This isn't breaking POLA because it is a new arch witha clean break. > On Sat, 24 Aug 2002, Marcel Moolenaar wrote: > > > marcel 2002/08/24 15:42:16 PDT > > > > Modified files: > > sys/geom geom_gpt.c > > Log: > > Use 'p' as the partition specifier instead of 's'.
