I don't think so. The cloning handler is used exclusively to determine rootdev, so devices which do not use disk_create() and thus do not get that for free need to implement their own handler, or they will be ignored. The made-up 'a' and 'c' partitions which also happen to be cloned (or in the cd(4) case are the only ones that are cloned, which probably needs to be fixed) are a separate issue. - Thomas -- Thomas Moestl <t.moestl@tu-bs.de> http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0015675/ <tmm@FreeBSD.org> http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tmm/ PGP fingerprint: 1C97 A604 2BD0 E492 51D0 9C0F 1FE6 4F1D 419C 776C
