Yep, glabel works fine. As far as I know, glabel stores its information in the last sector, and makes the provider a sector smaller. This means that you can't add it to an existing filesystemi without risking corruption. Using an ufsid requires figuring out the id from dmesg and editting fstab, to start using glabel you have to enter single user mode, dump, glabel, newfs, restore, edit fstab. I'm not aware of any sysinstall support for glabels either, so even for new installs it requires booting with a livefs and manual partitioning. Alson
