What? bsdlabel occupies only two sectors, in fact, only one, because first sector (0) is occupied by boot1, if any. Both UFS and swap are teached not to use first 8K of space, to be that able to contain boot2. In fact, the only problem that could arise from an offset-0 UFS partition is that a glabel(8) will incorrectly detect /dev/ufs/label on a slice itself, not partition, but I always have swap ('b' partition) starting from offset 0 and never had any problems (my 'a' UFS'es start from 16 when there no swap). So what metadata do you really mean? -- WBR, Vadim Goncharov. ICQ#166852181 mailto:vadim_nuclight@mail.ru [Moderator of RU.ANTI-ECOLOGY][FreeBSD][http://antigreen.org][LJ:/nuclight]
