I think that one of the things we need to do is declare a new flag in disklabel that declares that the disklabel has been converted to use relative offsets. if the flag is not set then absolute offsets are expected.. That would give a way for us to move forward while still allowing partitions to co-exist with 4.x systems. in -current, geom just has to 'work with it' if the bit is not set. New systems would automatically set the bit. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
