>Description:
The "list" and "show" sub-commands of the gpart(8) program behave quite
differently and inconsistantly, depending on the exact form/format of the
designator used for the device/geom of interest. Specifically:
gpart show ada0 -- works just fine
gpart show /dev/ada0 -- works just fine
gpart list ada0 -- works just fine
gpart list /dev/ada0 -- produces error "No such geom"
It would be better if the "list" and "show" sub-commands of the
gpart(8) program behaved consistantly with one another. Either they
should both reject device designators that include a leading "/dev/"
or else they should both accept this form.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Sorry, I do not have code to fix this. I am just reporting the bug.
