next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I recently installed 9.1 on a system and labels don't seem to work as
I would expect. I can get them to work in /etc/fstab, but only the
ones referenced there show up in /dev/ufs and /dev/gpt. I have seen
this in previous versions, and in those cases they sometimes work. In
at least one previous case one ufs label (of several) would never work
even in fstab. The following shows my current configuration:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD bonsai.localnet 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825:

root@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

$ ls -l /dev/ufs

$ ls -l /dev/gpt
total 0
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 112 2013-01-08 09:42 BonsaiSwap
$ cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
#/dev/ada0p2 / ufs rw 1 1
#/dev/ada0p3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ufs/Bonsai / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/gpt/BonsaiSwap none swap sw 0 0
In this case I have two GPT labels defined, but only the one used in
fstab (BonsaiSwap) is shown in /dev/gpt and by glabel. When I used
the original fstab without labels, there were no /dev/gpt or /dev/ufs
directories, and glabel didn't show any of them.
Does anybody have any ideas about how to get the system to recognize
all labels? A command after boot would be acceptable since I could
just put it in /etc/rc.local.
