I actually just ended up adding the requisite options to my kernel; that
worked just fine as well. 

Thanks for the help!

If you want to run a mirror (raid1) w/o using gvinum, gmirror does the trick.

Yes! 'man 8 loader.conf' contains information on boot-time module loading.
An example - if you want geom_stripe.ko loading at boot-time just put the line 
'geom_stripe_load="YES"' into your /boot/loader.conf.

Starting gconcat / gstripe at boot?

2004-11-28 Thread Mac Mason
So, I have a pair of disks I'd like to put into a mirror with /usr on
them; this is 5.3-RELEASE, so using vinum is out of the question.

It looks to me like gstripe will do the trick; all that is necessary is
that the module get loaded before boot tries to mount /usr.

Can this be done?

(I also have a concatenated pair I'd like to use for something else, but
 it's not boot-critical, and I imagine answering one question answers both)

Thanks!
