partitions and removes any that matches the pre-conditions. The
options are the same for the add command and are used to select
the partitions to remove.
Currently the remove command without any options deletes all GPT
partitions. This is rather harmful and will need anti-footshooting
measures.
starts at 1. No index is represented by 0.
o Change the show command to display the partition number at the expense
of the partition end columm. We already display the start and size.
o Enhance the add command to accept the -i option. The -i option allows
the user to specify which partition number the new partition should
get.
o Update the manpage accordingly.
While here:
o Make the UUIDs static to avoid runtime initialization,
o Rename ext to mslinux,
o Replace the use of memcmp() with uuid_equal(),
o Various style(9) improvements,
o Order the comparisons based on importance,
o Remove the word partition from all the descriptions,
o Other description improvements.

new problem shows up: symblic links (<libname>.so) are created under
/usr/lib/ now, instead of under /lib/geom/ where geom(8) looks for them.
Introduce a workaround to fix this by teaching geom(8) to open libraries
via /lib/geom/<libname>.so.<major_number> instead of /lib/geom/<libname>.so.

There is no manual page yet, but I'm working on it with keramida@.

- Bump version number.
This allows for a quite interesting trick. One can setup a stripe with
stripe size of 512 bytes and create transparent provider on top of it
with sector size equal to <ndisks> * 512. The result will be something
like RAID3 without parity disk (every access will touch all disks).
RTF_BLACKHOLE as well.
To quote the submitter:
The uRPF loose-check implementation by the industry vendors, at least on Cisco
and possibly Juniper, will fail the check if the route of the source address
is pointed to Null0 (on Juniper, discard or reject route). What this means is,
even if uRPF Loose-check finds the route, if the route is pointed to blackhole,
uRPF loose-check must fail. This allows people to utilize uRPF loose-check mode
as a pseudo-packet-firewall without using any manual filtering configuration --
one can simply inject a IGP or BGP prefix with next-hop set to a static route
that directs to null/discard facility. This results in uRPF Loose-check failing
on all packets with source addresses that are within the range of the nullroute.

where boot.config needs to reside. Also change /kernel
to /boot/loader, as that is the apparent default now. This
man page probably requires more updates.
Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.
MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.
When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.
For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.
Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.
