Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------6B72ADA257E387DEC88E0656" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------6B72ADA257E387DEC88E0656 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit First of all, I know there's a performance hit when you set something like this up, but I'm testing on a 2, +/- 1.2GB IDE drives system right now as follows: wd0 / 128MB wd0 /swap 512MB wd0 /var 557MB wd1 /usr 1033MB I would really prefer to add the space taken up by /var to /usr and provide a virtual pointer, but don't know how to implement software RAID or if I even can with FreeBSD. Should I simply not allocate anything to /usr or /var (perhaps with a /tmp to place the software RAID binaries in) then once it's in the kernel run stand/sysinstall and blow away /tmp and recreate as /usr? I'm not trying to make this too terribly complicated; I guess maybe I'm just a touch too much the perfectionist? :-> Thanks!
