I am using GPT for disk layout and I wish to use a dedicated partition for a gjournal journal provider rather than combining the data and journal into the same provider/partition. The question is this: What partition type (GUID) do I use for the journal partition? The gpart(8) man page lists a number of symbolic names for different FreeBSD partition types, but none seem appropriate for the task. For those that wonder, my reason for separating data and journal is that I am hoping to make up a little bit of the tremendous performance hit that gjournal causes by locating a journal provider in the fastest region of the disk even though its corresponding data provider must necessarily be located in the slower region of the disk. Is there a flaw in that thinking? Carl / K0802647
