The "canonical" ebr names like `ada0s4+00002081` are not particularly meaningful. The "compat" aliases share the same namespace as the parent MBR, resulting in names like `ada0s6`. This is consistent with the way Linux names partitions within an EBR. We previously provided a sysctl kern.features.geom_part_ebr_compat, which defaulted to enabled. Remove the sysctl and always create the "compat" aliases. Relnotes: yes Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
