This is an archive of past FreeBSD releases; it's part of the FreeBSD Documentation Archive.
GEOM permits access and control to classes, such as Master
Boot Records and BSD labels, through the use
of providers, or the special files in /dev. By supporting various
software RAID configurations, GEOM
transparently provides access to the operating system and
operating system utilities.
