It has nothing to do with "tunefs -L". Understood. I suggest a better explanation on the handbook. > But is that your original problem? If you have all three labels > pointing to the same file system (glabel, UFS volume label, UFS ID > label), you actually have 4 /dev entries pointing to the same device? Actually only 2 This is the output of my dmesg | grep GEOM GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s1 is ntfs/master. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s4a is label/rootamd64. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s4a is ufsid/49e99a08b75f8e02. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s4d is label/varamd64. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s4d is ufsid/49e99a09096f9933. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s4e is label/tmpamd64. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s4e is ufsid/49e99a0807d6e8cc. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s4f is label/usramd64. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad4s4f is ufsid/49e99a084d314fd2. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad6s2 is label/homebsd. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad6s2 is ufsid/47f7a96c87b497e3. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad6s3 is ntfs/Dat. GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad6s4 is ext2fs/DataShared ... as you see ntfs and ext2fs volumes are listed once, ufs twice. I think hal tries to mount all these devices giving me a lot of errors. Before glabeling disks hal showed ufsid, now, undecided between ufsid and label, shows a generic disk-XX. I was looking for a way to get more descriptive labels to avoid misunderstanding under nautilus or dolphin (e.g. usrbsd instead of Volume 20GB), but now I'm worse than before. Cheers -- Diego Depaoli
