Hello all.
I just installed FreeBSD 9.0 RC2 and upgraded to 9.0 RC3.
I used the standard GPT disk layout at install.
Now i want to set labels for my disk, so that i can swap around disks a
little more easy.
So reading through the man page it told me to use gpart modify -i -l
The layout is as follows:
test# gpart status
Name Status Components
da0p1 OK da0
da0p2 OK da0
da0p3 OK da0
test# gpart list | grep label
label: (null)
label: (null)
label: (null)
Now i modified the gpart labels.
test# gpart modify -i1 -l bootpart da0
da0p1 modified
test# gpart modify -i2 -l rootpart da0
da0p2 modified
test# gpart modify -i3 -l swap da0
da0p3 modified
Ok all looks fine.
Now lets see if i can use my labels
test# cd /dev/gpt
/dev/gpt: No such file or directory.
Well it does not create my labels
I did check if the labels where there
test# gpart list | grep label
label: bootpart
label: rootpart
label: swap
So i rebooted the machine!
But after a reboot, still no /dev/gpt.
So why is it not creating my labels!
Am i missing a step?
Thanks for your time.
And before i forget, merry christmas to all, and a wonderful 2012.
regards,
Johan Hendriks
