thanks Michael for your quick reply:) yes, i can boot from usb freebsd flash and use fixit mode. i have root, var, tmp, usr and swap on my system. i create an extra swap partition to use it as journal provider for root partition.
in fixit mode, first i run two below command in order to abel load gjournal: ln -s /dist/lib /lib ls -s /dist/boot/kernel /boot/modules then "gjournal load" and after that: "gjournal label -f ad3s1a ad3s1g" (ad3s1a is root partition and ad3s1g is swap partition for journal provider) but this error is shown: "gjournal cannot clear metadata on ad3s1a: operation not permitted" what is wrong here??? i really don't know how to fix it:(((( On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 10:12 AM, Michael Sierchio <ku...@tenebras.com>wrote: > > On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 10:27 PM, s m <sam.gh1...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> thanks Michael, but in all documentation about journaling, tunefs is used >> as below: "tunefs -J enable ad3s1X.journal". ad3s1X.journal is created by >> gjournal command: "gjournal label ad3s1a ad3s1g" that assign ad3s1g as >> journal provider for ad3s1a and create ad3s1a.journal which contains ad3s1a >> as data provider and ad3s1g as journal provider. >> >> my problem is, i can not run gjournal command for root partition in fixit >> mode nor single user mode. you mean, i should just use tunefs command on >> ad3s1X (root partition)? if yes, then where journal provider for root >> partition is located? in root partition? >> >> > Ah, sorry - lack of careful reading on my part.
