Hi all, I am in the midst of setting up the framework for new servers using FreeBSD 9.1. I used the bsdinstall and Manual`` option when setting up the disk geometry using GPT - graphical setup. The idea will be to eventually dump the 4 file systems, (/, /usr /var and /home) and restore them on other servers when the time comes. I am reading everything there is about GPT at this point as I have never used it before. It seems gpart is the tool to use. I have done several test runs setting the drive geometry using this as a guide: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html Which worked well. But as yet I do not have dumps to test with. I was wondering in anyone sees any issues creating the drive geometry using this method, with the intent of restoring dumped filesystems to to, including the root filesystem. I am yet to use 9.1 to do so, so any tips would be appreciated. -G
