Seems that I can't refer - explicitly -- to partition "a" of a partitioned "vnode disk" if it's assigned /dev/vn0. If I assign it /dev/vn1, no problem. If I change the name of the partition to "b", no problem. I can even just refer to it as /dev/vn0, and /dev/vn0a gets selected.
So I'm a tad puzzled. This isn't the End Of The World As We Know It, but the apparent lack of consistency is ... curious, at least. I'm running 4.9-R, recompiled mostly to get "device vn" in the kernel: %uname -a FreeBSD frecnocpc10.noc.egation.com 4.9-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 13 13:17:27 PST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/MADCASTER i386 %sudo vnconfig -s labels -c vn0 vn_jail %sudo disklabel -r vn0 | tail Password: track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 16000 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 107 # (Cyl. 0 - 7*) c: 2662400 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1299) e: 16000 16000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 107 # (Cyl. 7*- 15*) g: 400 32000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 107 # (Cyl. 15*- 15*) h: 2630000 32400 4.2BSD 2048 16384 90 # (Cyl. 15*- 1299*) %sudo df /dev/vn0 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/vn0 7822 6572 626 91% %sudo df /dev/vn0a df: /dev/vn0a: Device not configured %sudo vnconfig -u vn0 %sudo vnconfig -s labels -c vn1 vn_jail %sudo df /dev/vn1 Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/vn1 7822 6572 626 91% %sudo df /dev/vn1a Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/vn1a 7822 6572 626 91% %sudo vnconfig -u vn1 % I admit that I've done but the most cursory of reality checks, but come up empty-handed. Is this intentional? I'm certainly willing to submit a PR if it's broken; indeed, I'm willing to go poke around in the code and try to understand where things are going wrong -- but I'd rather avoid that exercise if this really is working as designed.
