slightly related question...
i often like to make lots of different partitions, coz i want to run many
different filesystems on their own partitions...
the default hands me only partitions a e f g h, can i get more of those?
now i get around that prob by slicing the drive in two (havent yet needed
more slices)... i dont like to play much with mknod on a production
server... =)
for the record, it seems that after one has assigned the sd0s1h, the first
assigned partition from the sd0s1 is e, then f g h and a is the last, is
there some reason for this? first time i happened i was confused...
and usually the reason i do these different partitions to even 2gig
scsi drives is the ccd, i just seem to adore playing with it...
while i post, i might as well ask this too...
i assume i can drive ccded filesystems in 4 different ways, right?
just one big drive, no interleaving (i dont use this, no risk, no fun)
interleaved (i love this)
mirrored (backups? who needs these anyway...)
interleaved and mirrored (havent yet tested this one)
from man page:
CCDF_SWAP 0x01 Interleave should be dmmax
CCDF_UNIFORM 0x02 Use uniform interleave
what does these exactly mean?
and last, i doubt dev-people often gets worshipped, but really, i am
a very happy user...
