Which would be consistent to the problem. Exactly, but as far as I can determine it only disappears if I boot from the new slice (which is why I suspect geometry bugs; I guess something in the bootblocks/loader is writing something to the disk which foobar's the new slice). > Try: > sysctl -b kern.geom.confxml Great, will try tomorrow (machine's at home and I won't be until late tonight). --Stijn -- In the force if Yoda's so strong, construct a sentence with words in the proper order then why can't he?
