Hi,
I've moved FreeBSD 9.0 Release to a larger disk. The steps followed the disk setup document by wblock@ on a USB attached disk. Each gpart add used -l to provide a label.
Once the partitions and ufs filesystems were created, I used dump/restore to copy the old (smaller) partitions to their larger new homes.
Both gpart show -l and ls /dev/gpt showed the labels supplied to the gpart add command
When swapping the disks, the new disk da0 when USB attached became ada0 (in case that matters) and only 2 of the labels show up using in ls /dev/gpt. The two are the labels for the boot partition and another partition that exists but hasn't been used yet (e.g. never mounted.) All the rest don't show. Using gpart show -l all labels seem to be there.
Should /dev/gpt list these?
