Hi, I just read the previous thread via the list archive. As of late on HEAD something changed that doesn't allow one to "stop" gjournal anymore and get rid of it. I have been using this same setup for months if not more than a year without problems. Whatever was added introduced an architectural problem. Either /dev/da*.journal exists or when that is stopped a journal etc. shows up with the "cryptic" names in /dev/gptid/....journal. If you stop that, the /dev/da*.journal is back. This essentially means that once gjournal is loaded, one is unable to unload it again, unless ones force a "detach"/"stop" on all lower providers. This essentially means that one can no longer safely shut down without the risk of losing/scrambling data. I guess the "ufsid/" things mentioned formerly has the same problem. What are the possible solutions to that? /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb It will not break if you know what you are doing.
