Hey! I'm a devoted Linux user (due to an already existing Linux network), but I am discovering very quickly some of Linux' limitations which FreeBSD seems to handle better, or period! I'm playing with a new 4 machine proxy concept which will hopefully (depending on the support I get) consist of one Master Proxy machine, and 3 diskless* proxy slaves (* = diskless except for either 2 x 2.5GB or 1 x 5GB local cache drive(s)). Currently, I am still in the process of setting up the master machine. I have the system installed (It was not the first one I have installed, so that went off without a hitch), however in attempting to add a second drive, I am getting somewhat confused as to the order in which to run certain commands to create & newfs two partitions on the cache drives. After reading much documentation, I decided to take the easy way out, and re-run /stand/sysinstall to try to partition the disk. Here is what I did: 0. /stand/sysinstall 1. Selected option 7 2. Selected option 2 3. Selected wd2 4. (C)reated slice using all space on disk (used 165 partition type) 5. (W)rote changes 6. (N)o boot manager 7. "Wrote FDISK partition information out successfully." 8. (Q)uit back to "Choose Custom Installation Options" 9. Selected option 3 10. (C)reated wd2s1e partition. 11. Selected (F)ile system 12. Selected /mnt2 as mount point 13. Repeated steps 10 - 12 for wd2s1f partition (mounted on /mnt3). 14. (W)rote the changes Received the following error for each partition: Error mounting /dev/wd2s1e on /mnt2 : Invalid argument Error mounting /dev/wd2s1e on /mnt3 : Invalid argument What am I doing wrong?! Thanks in advance, Jason Lixfeld
