That just saved my day! I've got a disk with some flakey blocks on it that i neede to rewrite. Impossible with GEOM, possible with kern.geom.allow_foot_shooting=1. I really think something like that should be provided by default. It should be the sysadmin who decides what to do, not the kernel. (Note, i don't vote for having the above /enabled by default/, and security paranoid people will bump their securelevel anyway, thus preventing any and all raw disk access.) -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
