> It was desired, and was sort of promised. I never understood why removal of block devices was allowed in the first place. phk's reasons don't seem strong enough to any unix wizard I have talked to. Did the majority of the core really think the change was warranted? Removing compatibility when the change _doesn't_ bring a *substantial* improvement doesn't seem right.
How hard would it be to bring back block devices without GEOM? Is there a write up somewhere on what GEOM is and its benefits? I'd hate to see it become the default without understanding it (and no, reading source code doesn't do it).
