You create a mirror (with "gmirror label...") and then a GPT on top of it, and then you can't see the GPT labels? If so, then it unfortunately reminds me of this thread: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.questions/248884 If it's something else, please explain with more details. > P.S.

No, it's a chicken-and-the-egg problem - to use sysctls you need a working system. Loader tunables could work but it's at best a cosmetic request. And we can't make glabel modular (so, e.g. you load GLABEL_GPTID or something) because it will break it for people who expect it to "just work" for all labels at once (that's kind of the point of glabel). --------------enigF29FEEAD5DB8D4AB94BA1647 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpcvUMACgkQldnAQVacBchDWgCdG5IFzFpy783vC4KyLQa4MapE 8yMAnRlG01K7KUT44YkD6XsCOkiZ+K5j =Y5E1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF29FEEAD5DB8D4AB94BA1647--
