X-BeenThere: freebsd-fs@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Filesystems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:32:57 -0000 I've built a GEOM mirror on a single slice of a single disk and am currently inserting the second disk. Of the partitions in the mirror, I made only a few of them gjournal'd. From this thread, I understand that auto-synchronization is unnecessary for gjournal on top of gmirror: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2007-January/019276.html I'm thinking my non-journaled partitions (the ones too small to be journaled) still need to be sync'd after crashes, so how can I enable auto-synch for those partitions and not the ones that are journaled? What is the correct thing to do here? Carl / K0802647
