Running under X with xfce, just did this: gpart show -l da0 gpart delete -i 1 da0 gpart destroy da0 gpart create -s GPT da0 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr da0 gpart add -t freebsd-boot -i 1 -s 512K -l gptboot da0 gpart bootcode -b /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 4K -s 35G -i 2 -l fbsdroot da0 gpart add -t freebsd-swap -a 4K -s 512M -i 3 -l fbsdswap da0 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 4K -s 1G -i 4 -l fbsdvar da0 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 4K -s 512M -i 5 -l fbsdtmp da0 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 4K -s 893G -i 6 -l fbsdusr da0 newfs /dev/gpt/fbsdroot newfs -U /dev/gpt/fbsdvar newfs -U /dev/gpt/fbsdtmp newfs -U /dev/gpt/fbsdusr mount /dev/gpt/fbsdroot /mnt/goflex
I then tried to create a snapshot of / X immediately slowed to less than a crawl, and I couldn't do anything. At first I could move the pointer a little, but then I lost it. After a half hour or so, I power-cycled and rebooted. When I tried to mount the usb drive, I (not surprisingly) got this: #mount /dev/gpt/fbsdroot /mnt/goflex/root mount: /dev/gpt/fbsdroot : operation not permitted WARNING: RW mount of /mnt/goflex denied. File system is not clean - run fsck. But when I try to do an fsck, I can't: #fsck /dev/gpt/fbsdroot fsdk: could not determine filesystem type (same msg for /dev/gpt and /dev/da0p2) hints? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
