https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D275960 Bug ID: 275960 Summary: The "Partition Editor" dialog in BSDINSTALL(8) should list hard drive identifiers Product: Base System Version: 14.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yuri@freebsd.org Created attachment 247283 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D247283&action= =3Dedit screenshot.png The "Partition Editor" dialog only shows device names and sizes. In cases when the system has many devices, especially of the same size - it might be difficult to choose the device. This script: > grep -E 'ada[0-9]' /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep ": <" lists hard drives with identifiers, like "<INTEL SSDSC2BF180A4H LH6i>". I am suggesting that the "Partition Editor" dialog is improved in 2 ways: 1. It should list hard drive identifiers in addition to device names and si= zes 2. The missing word should be fixed, see the question mark on the screensho= t. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
