Hi all,
I have now completed creating a new server from scratch using FreeBSD 9.1 and ports. The new setup uses: /, /usr, /var and /home. These filesystems have been dumped to a memory stick (root.dump, var.dump etc). The plan now is to completely zero out the drives on the other servers and use these file systems to build anew. The way I would have done it with pre 9.1 (i.e. 8.x) would have been to boot using a live cd based filesystem, zero out the drive, create the 4 needed filesystems using the graphical fdisk and disklable, mount the memstick and rebuild the filesystems using the dumps. I am at a bit of a loss as to how to do this using gpart. If anyone is willing to explain step by step, how to boot, create the filesystems, and make the disk bootable using 9.1 & gpart etc I would appreciate it! Fyi the disk would be da0 (SCSI 74G ULTRA 320). -G _______________________________________________ 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"
