How can this work? glabel doesn't know anything about volume contents - it just writes a label-sector and offers the remaning storage as a new volume. Result: Refusing is impossible. Changing UFS filesystem size isn't an easy task and the last sector is already lost when filesystem comes into game. Result: Too late. I think the only reasonable thing to be done is that fsck can speak up by checking the volume size with the filesystems size _after_ glabel has overwritten the last sector. -- B.Walter <bernd_at_bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm.Received on Mon May 17 2010 - 12:02:14 UTC
