Hey all, I recently completed the Greek translation of the geom chapter and (as it has become customary) I also created a patch for the English version. So I 'd thought to call all my usual reviewers (and anyone else who cares to comment): http://people.freebsd.org/~manolis/geom.txt A brief description of (some) changes: - Added the messages returned by a gstripe command (as requested by the original author) - Change the /mnt as a permanent mount point in fstab, suggested in an example. Since /mnt is normally used for temporary administrator mounts, it makes sense to create a specific mount point for a permanent mount. - Convert a vi editing session to a <note>. The user is free to choose his editor - although the original vi instructions are handy and should not be removed - It seems glabel can create both permanent and temporary labels that are not file system specific. Reworded the relevant paragraphs - Add a complete example of labeling a boot disk's partitions, so it can be used on another controller, or indeed, system - Journaling does not store the log on the last sector (only metadata that shows the volume is journaled) - Loading the geom_journal module during startup - or building it into a custom kernel - Add a reference to my gjournal-desktop article ;) - Minor rewording in paragraphs above / below the actual changes to avoid repeating the same information This is a somewhat lengthy patch, for those that feel better reading the build, here it is: http://people.freebsd.org/~manolis/geom.html Any and all comments appreciated :) Cheers, manolis@
