Re: Is it appropriate to mount /var and /usr on ext2fs partition ?
In fact, i never do such a thing manually! So would you mind introducing it in detail especially the command options i should use. thanks!

Do i need to format /dev/ad4s8 to UFS ? I would reformat it as UFS unless you plan on dual-booting Linux on the same machine. You can use the -U argument with the newfs command to enable softupdates. AFAIK the default is off. Alternatively you can use tunefs to do this after you run newfs, but before you mount it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
