Yes. We need to solve this problem correctly, and that has a fair number of issues involved. I am not going to rush in a band-aid for 5.3, the risk of breaking something is far larger than the inconvenience of not being able to use a number of new geom classes for root filesystems. When we have the correct solution, it can be MT5'ed and future 5.x releases will have it. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
