Which would be consistent to the problem. Exactly, but as far as I can determine it only disappears if I boot from the new slice (which is why I suspect geometry bugs; I guess something in the bootblocks/loader is writing something to the disk which foobar's the new slice). > Try: > sysctl -b kern.geom.confxml Great, will try tomorrow (machine's at home and I won't be until late tonig= ht). --Stijn --=20 In the force if Yoda's so strong, construct a sentence with words in the proper order then why can't he? --8nsIa27JVQLqB7/C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBF0W0Y3r/tLQmfWcRAkh7AJ47kYslZSWl1Zam0b9xrDJ7krXMcACdF5tV laa9uJ3vVlXsQTEkO45wg1U= =HbC6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --8nsIa27JVQLqB7/C--
