I require more than 8 partitions, but since I cannot do this, have 9 partitions on one slice, I have created two slices on the disk, da0s1 (100GB) and da0s2 (40GB). On the first slice, I have my usual partitions. On the second slice, I have two partitions, each 20GB (da0s2d and da0s2e) that will be used as the journal providers. I need to journaled two partitions /usr (da0s1f) and /resource (da0s1g). I have done the following to get my data providers and journal providers -- boot into single usermode -- unmount /usr and /resource -- gjournal load -- gjournal label -f da0s1f da0s2d -- gjournal label -f da0s1g da0s2e -- tunefs -J enable -n disable da0s1f.journal -- tunefs -J enable -n disable da0s1g.journal -- mount /dev/da0s1f.journal /usr and mount /dev/da0s1g.journal /resource. Each mount with -o async -- edited fstab to mount the data providers -- edited loader.conf and added geom_journal_load="YES" If I enter ctrl+d, I continue to multi usermode with no problem. However, I needed to reboot and I get the messages below when it tries to mount the partitions: Root mount waiting for: GJOURNAL GJOURNAL Root mount waiting for: GJOURNAL GJOURNAL GEOM_JOURNAL: Timeout. Journal gjournal 3033687591 cannot be completed GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3033687591 : da0s1f contains data.

Journal gjournal 3033687591 cannot be completed GEOM_JOURNAL: Journal 3033687591 : ufsid/4bed9437dfb979f4 contains data. This goes on and on... I cannot go beyond this point. Did I miss something? PS: I started off with a journal provider partition of 5GB and increased all the way to 20GB. This was after I googled and read that this error will occur if the journal provider size is small. I have attempted this with the journal provider partions on the first slice, da0s1 and also on the second sloce da0s2. All get me the above error. PPS: I am doing this on FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
