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
