Starting with FreeBSD 7.2, the glabel(8) class supports a new label type for UFS file systems, based on the unique file system id, ufsid. Is the above clause applicable in this case ? instead of using tunefs -L can we use# glabel status ? and can use the ufsid labels of /dev/ufsid/ and edit /etc/fstab entries for the partitions? > From: valentin....@gmail.com > Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:12:47 +0300 > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: glabel(8) a gmirror(8) doesn't work > > Hello community, > > Yesterday I have installed FBSD 7.2-RELEASE.
