Ah, so iso9660 has stricter rules than, say, xFAT/NTFS and even UFS... Maybe then we could distinguish file system type given to makefs(8) and apply different check/sed rules depending on it? I mean: it looks a bit unexpected (if not uncomfortable) to have label set up by outer OS accepted by geom_label (and thus created in /dev tree) but unable to duplicate it via makefs(8) and similar mechanisms... -- Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] [ FreeBSD committer: ma...@freebsd.org ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- ma...@rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
