Hello all.
I installed FreeBSD 10 Beta4 the day before the RC1 release and used the
ZFS install option, all went well.
I then downloaded the new source for 10 RC1 and did a buildworld.
It rebooted, the machine booted fine only did it show an error regarding
the swap space.
I could not mount /dev/gpt/swap0 and /dev/gpt/swap1
In /etc/fstab i had the following lines
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/gpt/swap0 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/gpt/swap1 none swap sw 0 0
this did not work anymore, and i needed to add the glabels instead.
/dev/diskid/DISK...... and so on.
/dev/gpt was not there anymore.
One more thing, i do not like the glabel option, is it possible to
create an option to use gpt labels instead of glabel when creating the pool.
I think glabel is just another layer which can cause trouble.
Another thing when installed Beta4 is the fact that a zpool status shows
the gptid's
This is not a pretty sight, and i think that the installer needs to put
the kern.geom.label.gptid.enable=0 in /boot/loader.conf when using the
zfs option.
The install went very smooth, and i really like it.
Thanks all for the great work.
regards
Johan
