I'm getting ready to move forward on enabling gmirror on my churches website server (FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE p4). I used defaults during the install (most importantly for this, the file system defaults). I've read in the manual pages that the data for the mirror is contained in the last sector of the drive/partitions. So, I want to mirror the entire drive (ad4) to the second drive (ad5). This server doesn't yet have much data at all. I'm wondering if I turn on this mirror, will anything important be overwritten in the last sector?
is your partition size multiply of fragment size without remainder?
if not (quite a big chance) at least one sector at the end is unused and never be.
so go on, but then fix disklabel, as c partition is 1 sector smaller. of course - boot from livecd to do this. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
