I just want to check on the status of 4K sector support in FreeBSD. I read a long thread on the topic from a while back and it looks like I might hit some issues if I'm not REALLY careful. Since I will be keeping the existing Windows installation, I need to be sure that I can set up the disk correctly without screwing up Windows 7.
I was planning on just DDing the W7 slice over, but I am not sure how well this would play with GPT. Or should I not try to use GPT at all? I'd like to as this laptop spreads Windows 7 over two slices and adds a third for the recovery system, leaving only one for FreeBSD and I'd like to put my files in a separate slice. GPT would offer that fifth slice. I have read the handbook and don't see any reference to 4K sectors and only a one-liner about gpart(8) and GPT. Oncew I get this all figured out, I'll see about writing an update about this as GPT looks like the way to go in e future. -- R.
