HI,
Because I have two identical disks, I destroyed everything on the 2nd disk
(meant for dump backups) and did:
bsdinstall scriptpart ada1 { 460G freebsd-ufs /, 5G freebsd-swap }
Then I mounted the swap from the second disk:-(
root@mail:/usr/home/wash # cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ada0a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ada1p2 /disk2 ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ada1p3 none swap sw 0 0
But I'd like to use the free space on ada0 for swap!
The second disk should be partitioned like the first, then I will use dump
for backup on 2nd disk. This is a guard against disk failure only.
