adding new disk to the system
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have a working FBSD 7.0 and two disks in RAID-1 (gmirror). Now I want to add another disk which will be used as file exchange disk so I don't need it in raid-1 (not sensitive data). Do I add new drive with standard procedure and just create a new mount point e.g. /newdrive or do I need to do something else?

Well, for your designated usage of the disk, take the easy way (assumed ad6 to be the new disk, check dmesg | grep ^ad): # mkdir /exchange # newfs /dev/ad6 # mount -t ufs /dev/ad6 /exchange Pay attention to the access rights of /exchange. Put a line into /etc/fstab to automount the disk at startup. Yes, it is that easy. :-) -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do I add new drive with standard procedure and just create a new mount point e.g. /newdrive or do I need to do something else? what is standard procedure of adding drive to the system? i never heard about this unless you mean standard procedure of installing disk in PC computers - like putting inside, mounting with screws, pluggin power and signal cables etc. ;) do whatever you need and is best for you. it's unix, not windoze. if it's for file exchange, then it will be often connected and disconnected, so make some subdir, add /dev/drive /subdir ufs rw,noatime,noauto 0 0 and mount it and unmount manually when needed. note that if you need transfering data to nearby computers, fast (or gigabit) ethernet is much better idea than constantly swapping drives. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
