https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D248857 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |markj@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #3 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> --- Yes, I believe this is basically "works as intended". It's a problem with = the aliasing mechanism in GEOM which allows one to refer to a device by multiple names (/dev/da1pN, /dev/gpt/foo, /dev/ufs/bar, /dev/diskid/baz, etc.). Once something opens a device by one of the names, it obtains exclusive access to the underlying device and causes the aliases to wither away. My understanding is that the aliasing code has been reworked in head to avo= id this problem, but I'm not completely certain. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
