Geom_label

hi

I've freeBSD 7.2 installed on the notebook Asus eeepc 1000H and during the startup process I'm getting these messages:

GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad0s4a is ufsid/4a7351b8d453fc64.
GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad0s4d is ufsid/4a7351b8300fe80c.

Howto solve this problem?

It's not a problem, it's normal behavior.

This is effectively debugging output that slipped into the release and
shouldn't have. I believe it's now removed in 8.x, I'm not sure it's been
MFC'd to 7.x yet. The output can be entirely ignored and does not reflect a
problem, just state changes resulting from a volume becoming visible to geom,
and then the label name being removed following mount.
