#FreeBSD supports FlashMap labels through geom_flashmap.ko. There's no man page, though it's been in around since 2009. Grrr...

in reply to florian • • •Yeah, but the other big BSD has *boring* storage. It just, like, puts bits on disk reliably.
Writing a man page stub demands much less effort than writing the driver.
