This shouldn't matter unless you used those long aliases as the vdevs for your zroot pool.
Thanks for the reply, Alan. As mentioned above; the disk is GPT/UFS(2). I chose "custom" from the disk layout dialog from the install media. I chose UFS/softupdates, and later, after getting a successful boot onto the drive. I added journaling. But that's it. Nothing fancy. Thanks again. --Chris _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
