Hello! I am creating a FreeBSD 4.3 system on a machine with two 9.1 GB harddisks. I have installed FreeBSD into 1000MB slice on first hard disk. I've created 7750 MB slices on both hard disks and mirrored them with vinum. I would like to use this mirrored volume for storing most of the data in hopes of achieving better overall reliability of the system. In the first slice of first HDD (where FreeBSD is currently installed) there are /var partition (200 MB) and /usr partition (308 MB). I understand that /var/mail is where users' mail is kept. Can I direct the contents of /var/mail and /usr to the mirrored volume by creating, say /mirror/usr and /mirror/mail directories and symlinking the original directories to these, i.e. /usr -> /mirror/usr /var/mail -> /mirror/mail -- Toomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
