It is apparent that Linux, besides some minor bugs detected here, handles
*BSD file systems in an awkward way.
I say *BSD, as I assume that the FreeBSD test results probably appply to
OpenBSD and NetBSD as well due to similarity in their partition/slices
structure of their installations.

The issue is clear:
Linux kernel assigning device names to *BSD slices following those already 
taken by Linux may cause serious problems when disk space is shared by both 
OSs, e.g.
   # fdisk -l /dev/sda
   ...
   /dev/sda1              63    81920159    40960048+   7  HPFS/NTFS
   /dev/sda2   *    81920160   111222719    14651280   a5  FreeBSD
   ...
   /dev/sda9       216715023   246017519    14651248+  83  Linux

   # dmesg | grep bsd
   [    1.550749]  sda2: <bsd: sda10 sda11 sda12 sda13 sda14 >
 
Handling fellow UNIX OSs well in Linux's space should be a priority.

What are your ideas about solving this issue ?
They could be passed to some senior devs and many younger hot shots who could
attack this problem soon.
