Hello, > I extracted this from the grub sourcecode: [8<] > #define FS_EXT2FS 17 /* Linux Extended 2 file system */ (Actually, this is derived from NetBSD and OpenBSD's disklabel.h.) My current setup uses this, but it's been a while since I installed everything and I haven't the slightest recollection of how I worked around FreeBSD disklabel checking. I may very well have written it by hand to the slice. > source). I don't know about the -CURRENT bsdlabel, I suppose things are > the same. I don't track -CURRENT, but according to: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/sys/disklabel.h.diff?r1=1.72&r2=1.73 it seems that disklabel could accept that value as of 2002/03/28. > Is there any serious objection to supporting this? I'll second your request, the patch looks straightforward enough (6 lines in src/sys/sys/disklabel.h?), at least for -CURRENT (since -STABLE is frozen until 4.9, if I'm not mistaken). Regards, Cedric Ware.
