>Description:
In the FreeBSD Handbook section 18.3 it refers to partitioning large disks using sunlabel and gpt.  These have been replaced by gpart(8).  So, at the end of the section, the sentences "The sunlabel(8) format is limited to 2^32-1 sectors per partition and 8 partitions for a total of 16TB. For larger disks, gpt(8) partitions may be used." should say "For larger disks, gpart(8) may be used to create GPT partitions."
