Just one thing - you have two separate journaled partitions, one
journal per one partition.

gjournal needs to know what what data is actually metadata. In case of
UFS the -J flag given to newfs tells system that using this fs we should
mark metadata for gjournal use.

Another tricky question: why would you journal a SWAP partition?
Well, I don't really want to, but how big does a partition like /var
have to be before it's no longer ill-advised to journal it individually?
A fair bit of writing can occur in /var
of
dangerously dedicated mode. This means I need one slice, but see no
reason for more. Inside that one slice will be the usual array of
partitions (ie. /, swap, /var, /tmp, /usr, /data).
Now, I think gmirror allows me to mirror the entire drive rather than
forcing me to do per-slice or even per
/umgah0.journale
Does the above suggest that you've ended up with individual journal
providers for each partition anyway? If so, where are they and have you
really achieved anything functionally different? Are they at the end of
their individually associated partitions or all together somewhere else

Now, I think gmirror allows me to mirror the entire drive rather than

So how do I achieve per-slice journaling instead of per-partition?
The docs only says this: gjournal only supports UFS2. It does not
specifically say that you cannot have per-slice journaling. However,
since you could have other filesystems on your slice, I bet that slice
based journaling is
I have a hard drive with one slice and 3 partitions. Only two

I can mount ext2fs on 7.0 (and previously on 6.0 and 6.2) and
things mostly work. In the past I had ext2fs on both primary

If you did, at least I'd know that it _is_ possible :s

and 6.x releases).
I'd also try this:

there is an /exports and /home that need to be resized.

what do I need to do to fix this.
I am assuming break the
the partitions and
newfs them on one disk. Then dump|restore the data from the other disk
to your new partitions, and recreate the mirror with the newly resized
disk and insert the other disk into that mirror. That disk should then
rebuild with the new partitioning.
Of course, you can only do this while
there is an /exports and /home that need to be resized.

Yes. Also, you can't use 'c' for a partition, since it represents the
whole disk, and on one disk at least

a-h are possible, yes, but b
to create that many

and none, absolutely none, does not specify the
very commun possibility of having a disk already with 2 partitions in Windows,
not to mention even further possibilities as having 2 disks, from wich one
having 2 partitions.
For instance I have 2 computers, each with 2 SATA disks: on the first

Yup. It is.
The only thing that keeps me back is the installation: I got a almost 10
(even not more) manuals about freeBSD and none, absolutely none, does not
specify the very commun possibility of having a disk already with 2
partitions in Windows
