Thanks, that's what I had hoped (but had noticed a few things lately that had me wondering whether they might perhaps not be working entirely _correctly_ -- I need to do some more experimentation). The next question then is, when _does_ the kernel need to include added options like GEOM_BSD and/or GEOM_PART_BSD? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
