Looks like "geom disk status" and "geom disk list" both list "disks" that do not have a partition scheme and spans the nvd* disks. (I only tested destroying a partition scheme on an ada* and then seeing what was displayed. I do not want to destroy such on any nvd* as stands.) "geom disk list" shows Mediasize and descr, which at times could be handy for identification, at least when the pair are unique in the system. Thanks for the alternatives to sysctl kern.disks and to nvmecontrol devlist for making a list to compare to gpart show output in order to find what gpart show does not list (but can manipulate). =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
