If I understood how it works, I would be glad to add patches. Perhaps
you can describe what is happening to my setup and that would help my
understanding:
I have the following ata devices:
ATA channel 0:
Master: ad0 <Maxtor 6Y120L0/YAR41VW0> ATA/ATAPI revision 7
Slave: ad1 <Maxtor 6L200R0/BAH41E00> ATA/ATAPI revision 7
ATA channel 1:
Master: acd0 <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104/1.40> ATA/ATAPI revision 6
Slave: acd1 <TOSHIBA CD/DVDW SD-R5372/TU31> ATA/ATAPI revision 7
ATA channel 2:
Master: ad4 <ST380013AS/3.05> Serial ATA v1.0
ATA channel 3:
Master: ad6 <WDC WD4000KD-00NAB0/01.06A01> Serial ATA v1.0
ATA channel 4:
Master: ad8 <WDC WD4000KD-00NAB0/01.06A01> Serial ATA v1.0
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 5:
Master: ad10 <WDC WD2000JD-00HBB0/08.02D08> Serial ATA v1.0
ad4 - My root filesystem
ad0 - Part of a gmirror /dev/mirror/folka
ad1 - Part of a gmirror /dev/mirror/folka and extra space as /export (glabel /dev/ufs/export)
ad6 and ad8 - gmirror /dev/mirror/home
ad10 - /users (glabel /dev/ufs/users)
my fstab has:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad4s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad4s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/mirror/home /home ufs rw,acls 1 1
/dev/mirror/folka /folk ufs rw,acls 1 1
/dev/ufs/users /users ufs rw,acls 1 1
/dev/ufs/export /export ufs rw,acls 1 1
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
/dev/cd0 /mnt/dvd0 udf rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd1 /mnt/dvd1 udf rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd0 /mnt/cdrom0 cd9660 rw,noauto 0 0
/dev/cd1 /mnt/cdrom1 cd9660 rw,noauto 0 0
(tried with acd* as well)
My df shows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad4s1a 69G 21G 42G 33% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/mirror/home 361G 83G 250G 25% /home
/dev/mirror/folka 111G 60G 42G 59% /folk
/dev/ufs/users 180G 128G 38G 77% /users
/dev/ufs/export 73G 520M 67G 1% /export
procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc
linprocfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /compat/linux/proc
/dev/md0 124M 64K 114M 0% /tmp
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/named/dev
I'm guessing fstab doesn't really have anything to do with hald. In
Nautilus, I now end up with a new icon on the desktop that is part of
my /dev/mirror/folka. I think it's from ad1 as it must have decided
since /export is on there to pull that in as well.
In "Computer" from nautilus, I see:
CD-RW/DVD-R Drive
114.5 GB Volume
372.6 GB Volume
372.6 GB Volume (2)
export
users
Filesystem
Network
So it is obvious to me that the separate drives are showing for gmirror
(which is a bug?) instead of the mirrors, but I'm puzzled about my /folk
disk as it only shows one of the discs. I also only see one of my DVD
drives and I can't get it to mount anything. To make everything
complete, here is my /var/log/message of disc detection:

Yes, that is what I expected. Oh well.
