You shouldn't need to pre-label the partition. However, I would *strongly* recommend getting an extra machine to experiment with locally before depending on mirror capabilities.

You can run a FTP mirror on it quite happily. That's the sort of thing that would work pretty well on any unixoid system to be frank, so your choice of FreeBSD might need justifying by some external criterion: "FreeBSD runs ZFS", "We get better network performance with FreeBSD" or even "I'm the sysadmin around here, and I like FreeBSD, so nyer." Check the ports for ftp mirroring programs. Both the ones you mention are available. Another approach is to use a caching proxy -- squid will do this for ftp URLs, as will apache (using mod_proxy). You can even be completely evil and set it up as a transparent proxy with a little work. The advantage of using a caching proxy is that over time it will pretty much auto-tune itself to contain the distfiles your users are interested in without your having to have any prior knowledge.

Gmirror should work with any GEOM provider, and definitely works with SATA disks. As long as your controller is supported to the point of seeing and accessing the disks connected to it the software raid support is irrelevant (that's what you're using gmirror for).

The way to do this is potentially a little risky but I haven't had a problem with it yet after setting up several mirrors on live fileservers. There is a sysctl called kern.geom.debugflags: if you set this to 16 it will allow you to change the mounted filesystem.

There is a sysctl called kern.geom.debugflags: if you set this to 16 it will allow you to change the mounted filesystem. Bear in mind that since the metadata for the mirror is written to the last sector of the disk, there is a small risk of data loss: if that sector contains data it will be overwritten. There's a thorough howto by Ralph Engelschall, and an OnLamp article by Dru Lavigne, with more details: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html Jonathan Yes, the origonal disk was pretty full, but, I suspect this is not a good thing: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a507630 9525437176620%/ devfs 1 1 0 100%/dev /dev/ad0s1e507630 30688436332 7%/tmp /dev/ad0s1f 152451398 5956408 134298880 4%/usr /dev/ad0s1d 1444526103600 1225364 8%/var /dev/mirror/rainstones1 151368706 141135278 -1876068 101%/rainstone How is that even possible?

I think OpenSolaris calls this functionality "mirror > mounts." Is there a way to get mirror mounts to work on FreeBSD, or > is it necessary to mount every sub-filesystem manually? The answer is I didn't RTFM carefully enough, and forgot to specify 'nfsd_flags="-e"' and 'mountd_flags="-e"' in my /etc/rc.conf. It's working now. Sorry for the unnecessary thread, but hopefully it'll help someone else searching for the same info in the future. ___ 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"
