This means the kernel will > not use the compatability slice to obtain the root filesystem when > booting from a sliced disk. *WARNING* If your boot disk is sliced (has a partition table), and you have not upgraded /sbin/mount to the most recent version preceeding this change, you will have problems booting. This change means that if your current /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/xd0a / ufs ... /dev/xd0s2e /usr ufs ... you need to update it to look like: /dev/xd0s2a / ufs ... /dev/xd0s2e /usr ufs ... Note that the root filesystem is now consistent with the others. If you are using a 'dedicated' disk, you will have entries like /dev/xd0a / ufs ... /dev/xd0e /usr ufs ... and you should *not* change. The recent update to /sbin/mount includes compatability support which will ease this transition. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
