Nowhere up there I'm saying to use ufsid's:
% uname -sr
FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT
% df
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/label/current.root 989M 651M 259M 72% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/label/current.var 9.7G 4.9G 4.0G 55% /var
/dev/label/current.usr 9.7G 5.8G 3.1G 65% /usr
/dev/label/current.local 15G 10G 3.6G 74% /usr/local
/dev/label/home 70G 56G 8.9G 86% /home
I made these labels under 7.1-STABLE then cross-installed on the second slice.
glabel is in GENERIC for a while now (7.1-RELEASE?), so it's something you can
use without problems and they even work on livefs cd's.
