In my opinion it looks tougher than it really is, especially for simple configurations. If you know the 3 or 4 steps you can have things running in a few minutes not counting newfs/init time. I would love to see some simple ground-up recipe's for taking a couple or three fresh disks all the way to mounted volumes. The info is there, but you do have to read quite a bit to put it all together and feel comfortable. I've come close to spewing out a couple one-page from-virgin-disks-to-mounting recipes, but other than fringe things I'm okay with it now and haven't needed it myself. And I always figured we have a few experts here (hello Greg!) who are probably already planning something more user-friendly. ?? Would this be useful? If nothing else it could be a standard response here on the questions list a couple times a week. <type...type...type...> Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
