Good morning, folks! (At least, it's morning on the east coast of USA) QUESTION 1: Would someone please explain the /var/run/dmesg.boot excerpt below? Note: I have glanced at both of the following links, but at the moment, I do not have time to dig into the documentation and learn all about this. I'm hoping to get enough knowledge to understand what's going on with this excerpt, and then later invest time in deeper learning. <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom.html>; <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=geom&sektion=4>; [BEGIN excerpt from dmesg.boot] GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad0s1a is ufsid/4a0047d615cb402f.

[END excerpt from dmesg.boot] More possibly relevant information: [BEGIN /etc/fstab] # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1g /home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1e /tmp ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1d /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 [END /etc/fstab] [BEGIN output of df command] Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 756750 162710 533500 23% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1g 23364076 112878 21382072 1% /home /dev/ad0s1e 756750 862 695348 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1f 10154158 5275158 4066668 56% /usr /dev/ad0s1d 756750 163790 532420 24% /var linprocfs 4 4 0 100% /usr/compat/linux/proc [END output of df command] QUESTION 2: I'm suprised that the device names (from the df output above) do not include "ad0s1b" and "ad0s1c". I thought the naming should follow the model of "ad0s1%" where "%" begins at "a" and continues in alphabetical order for each partition on that device. What am I missing? TIA, Daniel
