I have also done gstripe the canonical way, with striping the daN or daNsN, bsdlabel the stripe, newfs the resulting partitions. But doing it wrong way 'round seems to do no (particular) harm. * Or not-so-oddly, as you wish. ** Demure: "Trousers were meant for women, as women have belatedly discovered." (Anthony Burgess) -- --
