This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BEA88B.97211200 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, This is my plan for upgrading, I would greatly appreciate any feed back at all. Currently I have a FreeBSD 2.2.8 machine acting as a server/gateway for my small home network. It runs ipfw, ppp -alias, samba, squid, dhcp, etc... It also has 3 drives in it. What I would like to do is upgrade to 3.2-STABLE. From what I've read going from 2.2.8 to 3.x isn't exactly a picnic so I was going to backup what I need, wipe the whole system clean, and start from scratch. Restoring what I need along the way. Now, a thought came to me. Take the 3 disks (6.4 GB, 5 GB, and 10.2 GB) and concatenate them with vinum. This would make for much less of a headache since I would have one big /usr, and from what I understand would increase drive performance. Ok, enough of the background. My question(s) are, 1 is this a good idea? and 2 how would I implement this, wouldn't I have to install a /usr/ partition before I even had the chance to implement vinum? Any input, the more the better would be appreciated. Thanks. -Chris "f u cn rd ths, u cn gt a gd jb n cmptr prgrmmng." P.S.
