I'm about to install FreeBSD 7.0 on a machine with two equal sized disks. I'd like to mirror these with gmirror and I think also I want to use glabel to make things easier if (when !) one of the disks fails and I replace it. I'm proposing to gmirror a slice and put the partitions on the gmirror'ed slice. I think I'd like to use gjournal as well. Not entirely clear in my mind how to do this. I've got: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ for the mirroring, but don't have a grasp of how glabel and gjournal fit into this. Can I do this with sysinstall (should I ?) and what order should I be adding things in ? Can I switch the journalling on and off after it's been set up ? Any thing I should look out for ? Thanks
