https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220163 Bug ID: 220163 Summary: Allowed characters in UFS volume labels using /sbin/newfs Product: Base System Version: 11.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd.bug@nagykeve.e4ward.com The official FreeBSD memstick image contains an UFS volume labelled "FreeBSD_Install", and such a volume shows up under /dev/ufs/FreeBSD_Install nicely. Try to create such an UFS volume using "newfs -L 'FreeBSD_Install' /dev/da0s1" and it will fail, claiming that the underscore is not allowed in the label. If underscores are valid characters for use in an UFS label then newfs needs to be fixed to accept them. If underscores are NOT valid characters for use in an UFS label then official FreeBSD install media SHOULD NOT be distributed using such labels, because it is a bad example. Affects 11.0-RELEASE + 10.3-RELEASE, probably more. This is a low priority issue, but it should be clarified sooner or later because at its current state this is inconsistent and confusing. Although, very likely NOT many people lose sleep over this. :) Regards, Keve Nagy * Debrecen * Hungary -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
