It seems that geom_part_mbr: 1. uses CHS for some things 2. insists that various things be "CHS-aligned"
While 1 is quite acceptable (although perhaps useless), 2 seems to be unhelpful (and even annoying). E.g. I wanted to create a partition that starts at sector 64, but that was auto-magically and silently converted to 126 (2x63). It took me a while to realize what's going on. Using some greater starting sector (like 8x63) did work. But I still believe that geom_part_mbr "thinking" that it is smarter than me is incorrect. Yeah, keep using CHS params for some defaults, etc, but do obey what I explicitly specify if doesn't violate fundamental constraints like media size or slice overlaps. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-geom To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
