All, In case people are wondering: I'm working on proper support for logical partitions. This should also allow us to create and modify them. Of course when you add or remove a partition, the index changes and consequently the device name. I still need to find a good solution for that. Currently I'm thinking that we should create the device special file that contains the sector offset (which is the one constant) and create compatibility symlinks. For example: /dev/da0s2.00000000 /dev/da0s2.0834F7A0 /dev/da0s5 -> /dev/da0s2.00000000 /dev/da0s6 -> /dev/da0s2.0834F7A0 The idea is that the logical name (i.e. the symlink) change when you add or remove a partition, but that all references (i.e. mount information) are against the fixed name. In any case: I hope to have something in a few weeks. If you know of a good way to deal with adding/removing partitions, let me know.
