Is anyone else seeing a problem with vnd disklabels on a 4.99.12 vintage
system? If I configure a vnd, the first in-core label I get looks a bit
wrong:
16 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
b: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
c: 524225 63 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 255)
d: 524288 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
e: 524225 63 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 255)
f: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
g: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
h: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
i: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
j: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
k: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
l: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
m: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
n: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
o: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
p: 524288 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
The on-disk label has nothing wrong with it:
4 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 524225 63 4.2BSD 1024 8192 43688 # (Cyl. 0*- 255)
c: 524225 63 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 255)
d: 524288 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 255)
And if I disklabel -R -r the latter onto the vnd, the in-core label
is fixed. So why is the initial label created incorrectly?
