Taking a very critical view to kfreebsd's available time and resources, we might leave this totally unaddressed for jessie and leave it as an errata again. Yes that's shoddy, but it is a mostly cosmetic issue. It happens due to CAM changes in kfreebsd-9 and later. I think the only serious effect is that it can't show a disk's vendor/serial in partman. (Or determine the sector size, but AFAIK that won't affect partman which uses 1MiB alignments anyway). Jeff Epler's patch is very good but not perfect (even has a code comment to that effect). It basically implements a new CAM mechanism to do the above. I tried already but failed to condense it into a smaller change. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain steven@pyro.eu.org
