Links or it didn't happen. HINT: I just (for the the third time on this topic) crawled the following: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-October/thread.html Please help me find what you're talking about. >> https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=http://druidbsd.cvs.sf.net/viewvc/druidbsd/bsdinstall_zfs/usr.sbin%253A%253Absdconfig%253A%253Ashare%253A%253Adevice.subr.patch?revision%3D1.1%26view%3Dmarkup&k=%2FbkpAUdJWZuiTILCq%2FFnQg%3D%3D%0A&r=LTzUWWrRnz2iN3PtHDubWRSAh9itVJ%2BMUcNBCQ4tyeo%3D%0A&m=aas9lyFMptmk4eQ3C74XXVkRHbiN19EOClxMMjoCuhE%3D%0A&s=9d21b812e49d921455e998bde7c538318c3bfcc8759c1d0b61eede553b203865 >> >> So there couldn't have been any discussion on it before then.
