in general, I try to create the partitions with gpart, add a label with
glabel and put a filesystem. I think that I am doing something very
simple the wrong way but I cannot see the error.
I try to do it in the following way:
# gpart destroy -F da0
# gpart create -s GPT da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 64k da0
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 512m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2boot da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 10m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2root da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 10m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2swap da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 10m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2var da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 10m -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2tmp da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 4k -l Toshiba16GB2usr da0
Label the partitions:
# glabel label Toshiba16GB2boot /dev/da0p2
# glabel label Toshiba16GB2root /dev/da0p3
# glabel label Toshiba16GB2swap /dev/da0p4
# glabel label Toshiba16GB2var /dev/da0p5
# glabel label Toshiba16GB2tmp /dev/da0p6
# glabel label Toshiba16GB2usr /dev/da0p7
There is no need for all this. You already created GPT labels with
'gpt -l' above. And those labels don't need extra metadata at the end
of the partition.
And put a file system onto the partitions.
# newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2boo
# newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2roo
# newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2var
# newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2tmp
# newfs /dev/label/Toshiba16GB2usr
Those look cut off. And there's surely a limit to the length of label
names, but I'm not sure what it is. Anyway, use
# newfs /dev/gpt/Toshiba16GB2boot
And consider using -U with newfs.
