Many of the sections in the Storage chapter are very outdated. Here is a rewrite of the Adding Disks section: original version: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-adding.html new version: http://wonkity.com/~wblock/addingdisks/disks-adding.html diff: http://wonkity.com/~wblock/addingdisks/handbook-disks-adding.diff Changes: SATA rather than SCSI GPT rather than MBR (and a link to Wikipedia GPT ref) gpart rather than fdisk/bsdlabel no sysinstall no dedicated mode It is much shorter than the original, and has far less distractions like the numerous problems of MBR. Because it is a fairly big change, I'd like to get feedback on the various outrages it may commit in terms of completeness, justice, or, well, anything. One possible addition as a new section would be complete setup of a new disk for the operating system, incorporating some of the content that is now at http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html . I'd envision that as a mostly-commands section, and think it would follow this simple introduction well.
