How can this work? glabel doesn't know anything about volume contents - it just writes a label-sector and offers the remaning storage as a new volume. Result: Refusing is impossible. Changing UFS filesystem size isn't an easy task and the last sector is already lost when filesystem comes into game. Result: Too late. I think the only reasonable thing to be done is that fsck can speak up by checking the volume size with the filesystems size _after_ glabel has overwritten the last sector. -- B.Walter <be...@bwct.de> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
