I have 4 disks with around 1.5 TB available. I will be dividing this up for a few different services. Each of these will have a set amount of disk space. I plan on using geom labeling and then use gconcat later if needing to add new physical disks. (I have experience with glabel, gconcat and growfs but not with huge disks.) I need to have mounted file systems limited to certain amounts of diskspace, such as my web server with only 20GB and a file server (on same system) with only 150GB for example. Should I use 1) bsdlabel to create partitions and use separate geom labels for each? or 2) use bsdlabel on the geom label itself and then mount the /dev/label/*[abd] partitions instead? The procedure for adding new disk space to a partition should be same easy. Both ways appear to work, but is one more reliable? Do any of you actively use bsdlabel partitioned geom labels?
