Yes, see discussion about GPT and MBR problems in thread, which is named (and should be re-named already, really) "RFC: Project geom-events" > This is the kind of usage that makes me sad I ever added that option. Storing metadata of GEOM in last (or first) sector plays bad with MBR and, especially, GPT :( And I cannot see good solution for this. It seems, that GPT will be incompatible with any pure-software mirror or mirror-like RAID. -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev_at_FreeBSD.org>Received on Sat Oct 08 2011 - 08:04:46 UTC
