So you wouldn't be able to use the old classes. That's too bad. Since my /home is sitting on the extended partition, the OS won't boot unless the kernel is built with various GEOM_PART_ removed from i386/conf/DEFAULT plus GEOM_{BSD,MBR} added back to the kernel configuration file(ie: GENERIC kernel cvsup'ed today doesn't boot). # gpart show => 0 31250961 ad0s7c BSD (15G) 0 31250945 1 freebsd-ufs (15G) 31250945 16 - free - (8.0K) => 0 16783200 ad0s2c BSD (8.0G) 0 786432 1 freebsd-ufs (384M) 786432 4194304 2 freebsd-swap (2.0G) 4980736 393216 4 freebsd-ufs (192M) 5373952 11409248 5 freebsd-ufs (5.4G) -- Cheers, Tai-hwa LiangReceived on Wed Apr 01 2009 - 09:32:36 UTC
