Hi All,
i got several successful reports from users, but now i decided to make
this functional available for another consumers.
New patch:
http://people.freebsd.org/~ae/geom_alias.diff
What it contains:
* gpt/gptid support removed from GEOM_LABEL class;
* new GEOM_ALIAS class added. This class has two public functions:
void g_alias_create(struct g_provider *pp, const char *name);
void g_alias_spoil(struct g_provider *pp);
* first two consumers of GEOM_ALIAS class are GEOM_PART and GEOM_DISK:
GEOM_DISK uses g_alias_create() to create aliases for disks, disk's
serial number is used for alias name.
GEOM_PART uses g_alias_create() to create aliases for labeled partitions
(gpt/gptid, apm and pc98).
How it looks like:
