What would that mean for people who like to setup multi-boot situations, though? Will dragonfly require that all partitions on a disk be dragonfly-format? Could you go with GPT for the initial partition table, and then store all the extra info that you want at the start of each partition? And as I sit here installing a new machine, I also wonder if you should pick a different partition-type for Dragonfly, just so you don't have to worry about matching future UFS/UFS2 changes. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Fri Sep 24 2004 - 01:23:51 UTC
