Is it possible to do this:

sysctl -b kern.geom.confdot > foo.dot
cat foo.dot > /dev/geom.ctl

With a possitive result?

In other words is it possible to write to geom.ctl in ascii?
I have read that that is PHK's idea of configuring geom, but how is the
real world?

The reason for this question is that i have started to write a geom gui
program to display the current status of geom and the version 42 should
also be able to configuring geom via this gui.

Best regards S=F8ren
