Hello, I am trying to add my first disk to a FreeBSD system. If I am not mistaken it appears that one must: fdisk, disklabel, then newfs the disk. If this is true, then this part of FreeBSD is a joke. I thought the Linux utility was bad, but at least it is useable. Has anyone ever successfully added a disk like this? I must be wrong in my initial assessment of this situation as there would certainly be documentation on how to do this in the handbook or FAQ. Perhaps I am the only one dumb enough to need help and ask a question, but it would seem to me that this would be "frequent" (aka FAQ). Not having a method of easily repairing partitions and upgrading hardware is like running a system without passwords. Sorry if this seems like a flame, but I am incredulous. What is with all of the secrecy surrounding this issue? John Clark [jc@netview.net]
