From b6f3cced151f8b7dc3e32977e8f1b826f0654690 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ed Maste Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 13:04:43 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bsdlabel: add deprecation notice gpart is the preferred tool for managing partitions of all types, including BSD disklabels. Note that this is only about bsdlabel/disklabel, the tool -- there is no current plan to remove support for MBR or BSD disk labels from the kernel or from gpart.
