I am still here building Linux file-systems on FreeBSD. I solved my previous problems by making Linux images on Linux then just manipulating images under FreeBSD. Not very sexy, but it is effective. Now, I have run into some interesting problems. First, I cannot get MD-bases disks to work for more than one disk. I have allocated 24M in the kernel (the combined size I am using is 14M). So I am not sure what is happening there. Some insight would be appreciated. So instead, I have been using VN disks (this is an example how cool FreeBSD is, I couldn't make MD disks work, but something else did!). It appears after using vnconfig -e to unattach a disk, it doesn't really unattach. In order to reuse a vn device, I have to unload the vn KLD. This is not a problem for me, since only one person will be building at a time, but I am worried about loading and unloading and other things like that causing a stability problem. Are my fears well-founded? Is there a Right Way to do this? Thank you, J~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
