when setting up a machine with vinum, is it ok to symlink /var to a directory on a vinum partition? does anything open files on /var before vinum starts? i was thinking of doing something like this... # make a mirrored filesystem mirror -n local /dev/ad0s2e /dev/ad2s2e newfs -v /dev/vinum/local # cp /var to /usr/local/var cp -Rp /var /usr/local # now mount the vinum'd filesystem on /usr/local # over top of non-vinum /usr/local/... mount /dev/vinum/local /usr/local # cp /var again cp -Rp /var /usr/local # replace /var with a symlink to /usr/local/var mv /var /var.orig && ln -s /usr/local/var /var is this ok? i'm copying /var twice so that the /var symlink will point to a viable /usr/local/var even if vinum isn't running (for use in single-user). does this make sense? :-) thanks. - rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
