Please try not to contradict yourself too much, I might get wiplash trying to follow your argument. This whole discussion started because someone wanted to change the type of a partition from Windows to FreeBSD, and you have been arguing (quite loudly) that it should be possible to do so without needing to override GEOM's failsafes. Now you are saying that it should not be possible at all, because the kernel should ignore changes to the partition table. Please make up your mind... DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=F8rgrav - des@des.no
