Looking at the code, I can't find There seems to be a bug or two, and some details aren't right yet: - perhaps you don't have those devices. There are about 512 slice/partition names per physical device, and only the existent ones are generated. - names for partitions aren't generated unless the slice containing the partitions or at least one partition on that slice is open. I'm not sure if they should be generated; anyway, this isn't implemented. - names for aliases for partitions in the compatibility slice apparently arent't generated. I'm not sure if the should be; but this is supposed to be implemented. - names for my removable rsd1 weren't generated correctly. After messing around with this for a while, the disk became inaccessible even using ordinary /dev. This bug has something to do with the disk usually not having any devices open on it. Bruce
