So in theory, the following should work? - set up a server with 2 160g sata drives (standard example that i hope everyone can relate to) - gmirror them - set up one slice covering the whole gmirror - create a disklabel for example with: a 2g / b 4g swap c voodoo d 4g /tmp e 16g /var f 20g /usr g 54g /jails This leaves the h partition and around 56g free for "later usage" in case something comes up/happens or g needs to be grown. - add the 'h' partition later on while the system is running Because currently this does not work. I am not very fluent in C, but wouldn't this require a flag to pass down to tell it, it is ok to modify a bsdlabel from which partitions are mounted, because none of the mounted ones have been changed? Is there such a mechanism in place but unused? I haven't stumpled upon any, but I might have easily missed it.
