Hi, Running FreeBSD storm 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #4 r320894: Tue Jul 11 14:24:19 EDT 2017 root@storm:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 Setting up a gjournal partition. I run # gjournal label -f /dev/gpt/var According to the docs, I expect to get /dev/gpt/var.journal. Instead, /dev/gpt/var vanishes. I do find the missing device, though... attached to a /dev/diskid node. # gjournal list Geom name: gjournal 2129627395 ID: 2129627395 Providers: 1. Name: diskid/DISK-WD-WCAW36477062p5.journal Mediasize: 52613348864 (49G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r0w0e0 Consumers: 1. Name: diskid/DISK-WD-WCAW36477062p5 Mediasize: 53687091200 (50G) Sectorsize: 512 Stripesize: 0 Stripeoffset: 2148532224 Mode: r1w1e1 Jend: 53687090688 Jstart: 52613348864 Role: Data,Journal I would *expect* the device to appear as part of the device node I created. There's no warning in the man page that it'll get moved over to /dev/diskid. If I disable diskid and gptid, the journal appears on da3p5.journal. Should I be able to gjournal GPT devices? Is this a software bug or doc bug? Or am I reading the wrong doc? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
