Hi, context is freebsd 14.2-releng vm (amd64) that has been upgraded with freebsd-update from 13.4. Decided to add another disk so invoking the vm looks like this: # sh vmrun.sh -c 4 -m 16G -t tap2 -d ./vm.img -d ./disk1.img vmname used gpart to create an MBR for disk1.img. tried to make slice/partition type like so: root@vmname:/root# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 1M -i 1 vtbd1 gpart: Invalid argument root@vmname:/root# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 1M vtbd1 gpart: Invalid argument dropped off the -ufs in freebsd-ufs root@vmname:/root# gpart add -t freebsd -a 1M vtbd1 vtbd1s1 added Is this expected? The man page has both freebsd and freebsd-$thing, mentions just plain freebsd is legacy for GPT and some others, no mention of MBR in the context. --
