[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, > A visual view of columns of a bsdlabel, editing a label using vi, checking > and double checking numbers before committing them is handy.The visual > format and the ability to adjust the numbers in an editor before committing > them is handy. You can't do this with gpart, as it's transactional. And > bsdinstall doesn't give one the opportunity to check the numbers in detail > on a console before committing them. You seem to want to be able to stack a number of modifications before actually pushing them. Actually, gpart(8) already can do that! Please see the "OPERATIONAL FLAGS" section in gpart(8). In between your tentative modifications, just use 'gpart show' to see where you stand. Thanks and regards. -- Olivier Certner [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCQAdFiEEmNCxHjkosai0LYIujKEwQJceJicFAmWyLTYACgkQjKEwQJce Jid8hg/+NebZSAHpZ+4sdsCHTYUOlD/sglD36rsXrJpXsVJPtsnHiIxZxuJ+znve pWs9t9nuRqnLN9t9c+W8raGUrUcf/AeK6Y0Xys24SQorgT2vVM/qYB/uDipLUHn/ ubrrBuyzaS2GOuHlaJrQ7sjuOptuyIybrdBUwmQQvxaPG03Saurkd0gs0HRYCWvs i+4siHbF0mn35zMlF5vgx45y4SMFudyZaNZeIpNsno0VN6T7CLlNzSckKDFJkOW8 33IbsqbLRRYOkYVeTlWTH1dxw5k7Wnef5I17T6CQ0/xMKjAR/Gy9LvCnU1J2S4lS aqu0Qk/Ozo/vBTHlhsKqnt8yUkb/nSu+58wXM2noVbEwmBv2EWJ1zL/vwbO4zKnE mB5IqkYRHOPb0BjSh3/3SsmRYrlpxz+lTH2iLmOqyB5TKQTk+DF50BqP4dLy2UvM 10MxNoEmZJlR3eZT0nxoMUIepWy9L9PeVHSUOtC7N+UQeVgka8V5q5EwiFbk7Up5 tFUMFQJYEcf0q0P1jPg/tvgWp4PuNd2gpKmS2Hlh56Qo9dapF992f1zc44QF3mHv hfMejXm8FrEfTPZpCU++W8JGyIOQpIj2FvlKeROmKqTDTaPy8h+kqbFyPub6dbLM mQ0nPvdAEjA+a4AlZ4MZX7eS/F3VwhVsgTgHsHo3Phcynk54rPg= =ubys -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
