Name: ada2 Mediasize: 200048565760 (186G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r0w0e0 As you can see it updated the changes. BUT glabel didn't get informed about the changes: FreeBSD [~]# glabel status Name Status Components gptid/2fed8e3d-f4f9-11e0-beaf-000fa30711f1 N/A ada0p1 gpt/RootFS N/A ada0p2 [...] gpt/Storage N/A ada2p1 gptid/9e34e5b5-f747-11e0-b222-000fa30711f1 N/A ada2p1 [...] As you can see it still has outdated label-information "Storage" instead of "New-Name" FreeBSD [~]# ls -lach /dev/gpt/ total 1 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512B 15 Okt 13:26 . dr-xr-xr-x 11 root wheel 512B 15 Okt 15:26 ..

Otherwhise what's the use of a framework if user still has to interact while expecting framework apps to communicate among each other. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ 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"
