Something that converts things automatically to whatever? That's not been done in more than one year. It's not acceptable to update, reboot and not find the root file system no matter what. We all agreed on that back then. I do not really care how it's done. > I have been testing cam based ata for a while now on the machines I can cope with as a developer and even then I screwed the transition partly two times in the last months.

I would be interested to have his answer to your question. Thanks, - Arnaud > b) FYI: labels and stacked geoms do not work well together as you can never detach providers cleanly then, which basically means you are at risk of data loss with every reboot. I was told multiple times that this is not fixable. If it is labels seem to be a great why to go. For now I have to compile them out/disable them unfortunately so they are not an option, and they'll be less so if the new installer also offers gmirror, geli, ... installs. > > Give me a solution that works out of the box and I'll happily agree that we switch. > FWIW, so do I. > /bz > > -- > Bjoern A.
