There are some fixes in 8-STABLE that I don't think I got into 8.0. Those fixed reading of GPT headers written by opensolaris. I haven't seen the GPT headers written by Win7. If you want to "dd if=/dev/ad10 of=header-dump.bin bs=512 count=34" and send that to me, I can take a look at what is written. robert. > thanks, > > matheus -- Robert Noland FreeBSD
