Most of classes have "clear" command which doesn't need loaded module and works completely from userland now (as "label" works from userland too for these classes). And, if such changes will be made, generic command to "geom" itself, without class at all, could be added -- of course, it will refuse to clear anything that doesn't start from "common" signature. -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev_at_FreeBSD.org>Received on Thu Oct 06 2011 - 04:56:23 UTC
