Thanks!
Regarding FAQ, some info about journalling should be added to
"Chapter 9 Disks, File Systems, and Boot Loaders", especially now,
when SU+J is default.
Please also add:
SU+J does not work (yet) with dump on a live filesystem i.e. use
snapshot.
If you want to use snapshot (dump -L) then disable the soft updates
journal for that filesystem
It would be helpful to include information on how to do that during
install (still trying to figure that out myself), and using the
recover CD for when you forget to do it during install.
Right now, when installing a new system it's easiest to reboot to
single user mode after the install and tunefs -j disable 'the
filesystems' to disable journaling of soft updates.
When changing the root ( / ) filesystem in single user mode, reboot
immediately after disabling the soft updates journal otherwise it will
still be enabled. No need for a rescue cd/usb here.
If you want to accomplish this during the install, choose shell at the
disk partitioning part and add slices and/or partitions with gpart and
then newfs them with the appropriate options, then mount them on /mnt
and the appropriate places beneath and continue the install by
quitting the shell.
There are some nice entries on http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS
Just substitute the ZFS stuff with the easier gpart and then newfs -U
etc... then make sure the filesystems are mounted under /mnt and
continue the installation.
I hope that I will not confuse you too much with the proposed solution
i.e. use these resources as a guideline. Else see reboot to single
user mode after install above and tunefs
