No way I'll have anything definitive in time, so not to worry.
I'm working with manual approach on FreeBSD, trialing editing and
migration using DragonFlyBSD on FreeBSD-created GPT and the reverse.
Just about to introduce NetBSD-current into that mix. OpenBSD 'later' if
at all.
What I am after is an 'agnostic' stand-alone-capable maintenance toolset
to support both portability/sharing of 'data' storage (UFS "1" if need
be) and multi-boot. I'm hoping to side-step the NIH legacy disklabel
disjoint between/among the *BSD's.
Looks to be more a scripting exercise than coding - the tools are
generally already there in each OS.
Regards,
Bill
