--Apple-Mail=_7CC8AF5D-51F2-4EA6-A555-36B567872914 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Hey all, I find that the handbook mentions glabel labels, but several other = places say don=E2=80=99t use them. I managed to apply a gpt label to my new partition that I created using = only =E2=80=9Cgpart=E2=80=9D=20 The handbook mentions glabel labels, and tunefs labels, but says nothing = about GPT labels. I=E2=80=99ve seen some more complete posts on the forums (i.e. = https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-label-partitions.64380/) but = they still don=E2=80=99t show the full picture of what labels are usable = where, by what and which. Is there a good primer people know of of what the various types are, = fully, which are supported in fstab, which work with ZFS only, and the = like? Or should I just keep on using /dev/daX in fstab? (This only came up, = as I=E2=80=99m moving virtual disk images around, and renumbering = happens automatically when I delete one from a running vm), so labels = are useful in this case.= --Apple-Mail=_7CC8AF5D-51F2-4EA6-A555-36B567872914 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 <html><head><meta http-equiv=3D"content-type" content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dutf-8"></head><body style=3D"overflow-wrap: break-word; = -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Hey = all,<div><br></div><div>I find that the handbook mentions glabel labels, = but several other places say don=E2=80=99t use = them.</div><div><br></div><div>I managed to apply a gpt label to my new = partition that I created using only = =E2=80=9Cgpart=E2=80=9D </div><div><br></div><div>The handbook = mentions glabel labels, and tunefs labels, but says nothing about GPT = labels.</div><div><br></div><div>I=E2=80=99ve seen some more complete = posts on the forums (i.e. <a = href=3D"https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-label-partitions.64380/"= >https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-label-partitions.64380/</a>) = but they still don=E2=80=99t show the full picture of what labels are = usable where, by what and which.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there a = good primer people know of of what the various types are, fully, which = are supported in fstab, which work with ZFS only, and the = like?</div><div><br></div><div>Or should I just keep on using /dev/daX = in fstab?
