Or am I confused?
using freebsd 8.0 RELEASE amd64 on a clean install, I cannot do the following:
or
If I boot a a different slice on the same physical drive, both commands complete successfully without needing to set kern.geom.debugflags indicating to me that this is a GEOM bug rather than a problem with my partitions/labels.
All of this worked fine under 7.2
The only difference between this system and stock is that I have replace the FreeBSD boot loader with GRUB2, but I should think that shouldn't matter, as GRUB2 doesn't touch the partition table or the labels.
Thought I'd ask here before I opened a bug though.
