For some reason the /dev/ufs/label entry that geom creates for every UFS formatted partition is deleted when the device is mounted. This is not the case for other file systems, though I have not tried them all. It makes the drive much harder to deal with when you have to keep track of which physical drive contains the labeled media. It is a particular issue for hald and the tools which depend on it.
Is there a good reason for this odd behavior of UFS? If there is not a good reason, could it be changed? -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
