Well, they are still around, but not functional. They are symlinks to nda devices, but the symlinks don't work well.
I have no idea when the symlink of nvd to nda happened, but after updating my system to main-n263630-ab3e6234ab6e, at least geom related commands no longer function using nvd0p?. I hit this when trying to use gpart and geli. gpart claims "gpart: No such geom: /dev/nvd0." geli responds (after entering a passphrase) "geli: Provider not found: "/dev/nvd0p7"My previous system version was main-n262908-c16e08e5f324. Was this intentional? If so, why was this change made? If not, could it be fixed? Since I usually use geli with the /dev/gpt devices, I didn't notice it right away, but it could certainly surprise many users. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
