Hello all. I installed FreeBSD 10 Beta4 the day before the RC1 release and used the ZFS install option, all went well. I then downloaded the new source for 10 RC1 and did a buildworld. It rebooted, the machine booted fine only did it show an error regarding the swap space. I could not mount /dev/gpt/swap0 and /dev/gpt/swap1 In /etc/fstab i had the following lines # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/gpt/swap0 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/gpt/swap1 none swap sw 0 0 this did not work anymore, and i needed to add the glabels instead. /dev/diskid/DISK...... and so on. /dev/gpt was not there anymore. One more thing, i do not like the glabel option, is it possible to create an option to use gpt labels instead of glabel when creating the pool. I think glabel is just another layer which can cause trouble. Another thing when installed Beta4 is the fact that a zpool status shows the gptid's This is not a pretty sight, and i think that the installer needs to put the kern.geom.label.gptid.enable=0 in /boot/loader.conf when using the zfs option. The install went very smooth, and i really like it. Thanks all for the great work. regards Johan
