drive, but only the first one will be mapped to the compatibility
slice!
- The compatibility slice will eventually be phased out, but
- it is still important right now for several reasons:
-
- 1. Some programs, as mentioned before, still don't work
- with the slice paradigm and need time to catch up.
-
- 2. The FreeBSD boot blocks are unable to look for
- a root file system in anything but a compatibility
- slice right now. This means that our root will always
- show up on "sd0a" in the above scenario, even though
- it really lives over on sd0s1a and would otherwise be
- referred to by its full slice name.
+ The compatibility slice has essentially been phased out, but
+ it's important to be aware of when looking at or upgrading
+ older systems.
Once you understand all this, then the purpose of the label editor
becomes fairly clear: You're carving up the FreeBSD slices displayed
