Just tested that with a kernel from HEAD and a 8.x userland. This does
not seem to survive a reboot.
No, "create" makes a temporary label. "label" writes a label to the last
block of the device.
... which does not seem be doable when the fs is mounted:
[in single-user, with only / mounted r/w and /dev]
# geom label label root /dev/ad0s1a
geom: Can't store metadata on /dev/ad0s1a: Operation not permitted.
As an anti-foot-shooting measure, this is blocked unless the flag sysctl
kern.geom.debugflags |= 16 is set
Unfortunately, I do not have physical access to the machine. I guess
that transition will be a royal PITA for a lot of people.
Btw, you mentioned "device", I guess you meant "file-system", didn't you ?
The label is on the device, using space that is (hopefully) left over
after the filesystem's allocation.
