FYI, the primary reason for using EFI labels is that they are endian-neutral, unlike Solaris VTOC. The secondary reason is that they are simpler and easier to use (at least on Solaris). I'm curious why FreeBSD claims the GPT label is corrupted. Is this because FreeBSD doesn't understand EFI labels, our EFI label is bad, or is there a bug in the FreeBSD EFI implementation?
