Hi There. I want to install a Seagate ST32171N UltraSCSI 2.16 Gbyte disk. This disk will be the forth one on a FreeBSD machine. Already we have 2 X 2Gbyte and one 1Gbyte installed previously. This disk will be used purely for mirroring. I would want to use the whole 2Gbyte for mirroring the ATMForum site. What is the mounting procedure please? As I can understand thus far one has to attach parameters to a "disktab" file in the /etc directory. I do not have a clue as to what these values might be nor do I know what variables are to be used. Next one has to make use of the "disklabel" command which then makes use of the values specified in "/etc/disktab". What are the switches to be used if sd0 to sd2 are already used? I presume that I will use rsd3. Next one issues the command "newfs". How is it used please? And finally mounting the device. One has to create a directory from root "mkdir atmforum" and then mount the device to the atmforum directory. Please correct me if I am wrong. Hope to hear from you soon.
