I think that the duplicates you > saw are because you had geom_part still enabled. I thought about that. Having both GEOM_PART_MBR and GEOM_MBR seemed suspicious, but GEOM_PART_MBR isn't from the config file: grep -i geom GENERIC options GEOM_PART_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. options GEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization and then I added GEOM_MBR and GEOM_BSD as suggested. So I don't know where GEOM_PART_MBR comes from or how to get rid of it. I am assuming that "make buildkernel" calls config(8) and config builds opt_geom.h based on the config file, but it must have some other input that I haven't found. It isn't clear to me what the difference between GEOM_PART_MBR and GEOM_MBR is supposed to be (same for GEOM_PART_BSD and GEOM_BSD). conf/NOTES doesn't list a GEOM_GPT, only GEOM_PART_GPT. I assume that removing GEOM_PART_GPT would break disks using GUID partition tables. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
