I don't think you want to allow gpart<-geom<-part when you don't allow gpart<-gpart. The addition of a random geom, in between gpart does not change the fact that you're nesting. You allow nesting, or you dont. > BTW. Why GPT does not nest? It's outside the spec. and unless we have a UUID for the partition used for nesting it's invalid. Policy prevents it. -- Marcel Moolenaar [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-geom To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
