https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D232463 --- Comment #6 from bourne.identity@hotmail.com <bourne.identity@hotmail.co= m> --- a) What do you mean 'works well under FreeBSD' when you cannot add/delete any partitions in the EBR slice ? b) Suggesting GPT because EBR is non-functional under FreeBSD adds an unwanted twist. GPT is not what people need. People usually need MBR (particularly u= nder FreeBSD), which provides multiple benefits: 1) GPT has no limit on number of partitions, and a GPT disk is permitted to= be a jungle. The MBR schema on the other hand is 3 primary partitions (each of which can host OS root) + a sub-divisible EBR (which cannot host OS root). 2) MBR permits use of boot0cfg, the tidiest boot manager. Unless a disk really is > 2TB, GPT must not be used. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
