Hi.
I just added two disks (ad4 & ad6, SATA 160Go) to my FreeBSD box. I want to
use them in the following configuration:
- ad4s1 & ad6s1: geom mirror of 80Go containing all my precious data (/,
/usr, /var, /home)
- ad4s2b: swap
- ad4s2x, ad6s2x: non-important data
On the mirror (ad4s1+ad6s1), I created partitions for /, /tmp, /usr,
and /var.
Is there any pitfall in doing so? Do I have to be careful to keep extra space
somewhere? (such as one sector at the end of ad4s1/ad6s1)
I can't seem to place bootcode at the beginning of the mirror:
# bsdlabel /dev/mirror/precious
# /dev/mirror/precious:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 524288 16 4.2BSD 2048 16384 32776
c: 167766731 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
d: 2097152 524304 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
e: 524288 2621456 4.2BSD 2048 16384 32776
f: 164620971 3145744 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552
# bsdlabel -B /dev/mirror/precious
bsdlabel: Geom not found
What does this error mean?
Thanks in advance.
Sam
