Re: gmirror prerequisite question SOLVED
I've bought a secondary HDD to attach to my server running freebsd 7.0. I want to enable gmirror on it (will reinstall everything from scratch), you don't have to. but I want to know if my hardware is setup correctly as a prerequisite for doing this operation. The command dmesg | grep Seagate Yields: ad4: 76319MB Seagate ST380815AS 3.AAC at ata2-master UDMA33 ad6: 76319MB Seagate ST380815AS 3.AAC at ata3-master UDMA33 yes it is. * Thanks for all your help! I managed to install it on my working system and it was a fairly simple procedure. Now I need to restructure my system because I've installed it as a desktop system, but want to use the system more like a server (database ruby weka ). So I will need to deinstall all installed packages like KDE4.1, Xorg, Firefox etc etc. Will still need to figure that out (assuming a pkg_delete -a is what I need) Brgds Dino ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Today I mirrored my new harddisk with the instructions at http://www.freebsddiary.org/gmirror.php Right now I'm synchronized up to 65% :-) Edwin -- Edwin Groothuis Website: http://www.mavetju.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weblog: http://www.mavetju.org/weblog/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why I'm in doubt is because of the master/slave thing I was expecting but that seems something of the IDE world as I have bought two Sata hard drives and connected it with sata cables to my motherboard. But just checking to be sure. Brgds and thanks in advanced! Dino The concept of master / slave only exists in the IDE (PATA) world. SATA disks do not have these troubles, as there is only one per cable. Your setup is absolutely fine. If you haven't already, I suggest you read this excellent article: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html?page=1 I've set up quite a few gmirrors with this info. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
