So, I see three changes which should be done in geom_gpart land: (1) GPT sub-moudle gpart should check rank of provider and issue big warning if rank isn't 1 (it is not low-level disk) on creation. (2) Documentation should be changed to explain (1) in more details. (3) MBR sub-module of gpart should check size of provider and refuse to "see" MBR if provider is several sectors larger, than recorded in MBR. It will prevent it to pickup failed component of gmirror directly. -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <l...@freebsd.org> _______________________________________________ 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"
