Solved [Solved] gpart show on FreeBSD 10

[obsigna]

I upgraded one of my machines to FreeBSD 10, and with that gpart show shows me two entries for every GPT disk.

Example:

=>      34  15124925  da0  GPT  (7.2G)
        34       128    1  freebsd-boot  (64K)
       162     16222       - free -  (7.9M)
     16384  15106048    2  freebsd-ufs  [bootme]  (7.2G)
  15122432      2527       - free -  (1.2M)

=>      34  15124925  diskid/DISK-5C0042DA2CB39214  GPT  (7.2G)
        34       128                             1  freebsd-boot  (64K)
       162     16222                                - free -  (7.9M)
     16384  15106048                             2  freebsd-ufs  [bootme]  (7.2G)
  15122432      2527                                - free -  (1.2M)

For what exactly is this useful? Is it possible to have only one entry per disk displayed -- preferably that without the diskid?

I noticed this too and would be interested to hear why it does this.

Solved by adding kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0" to file /boot/loader.conf.
