> glabel -- disk labelization control utility

Labelization is not a real word.=20

The utility labels GEOM providers (not to be confused with disks).=20

Maybe better:=20

> glabel -- GEOM provider label utility

=E2=80=93 or:=20

> glabel -- GEOM provider labelling utility


>From DESCRIPTION:=20

> =E2=80=A6 labels cannot be set with glabel, but must be set with the appr=
opriate=20
> file system utility, =E2=80=A6 Currently supported file systems =E2=80=A6

This is confusing.=20

Does the list show what's supported by the _non_-glabel utilities (for labe=
ls
that glabel can _not_ set)?=20

Or, does the list show what _is_ supported by glabel? If so, then there sho=
uld
probably be a paragraph break.=20


>From EXAMPLES:=20

> tunefs -L data /dev/da4s1a
> mount /dev/ufs/data /mnt/data

That's not an example of glabel.
