OK.
You might want to look at geom_journal I guess.

Hi Tapan,
Did you check whether any other BSDs have done anything
similar ? I'm not sure whether it would be directly helpful but, you might
get s

Hey,
Thanks Deniel for the reply. I am aware of the fact you mentioned and
will keep in mind.
Well what i am trying to achieve is a simple thing to write an interception
driver to catch all the i/os going to a particular device, do some
manipulations on it and than let it through to the original

The critical thing is that the loader must read the kernel (and modules,
config etc..) from a disk the BIOS knows about.
Thank You Mateusz and Mike. I guess I am clear with my doubt now. I will
also go through the man pages to go into depth of it.
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks a lot Mike. But the problem is the device I am talking about is
not the physical device. I am writing a driver which will create a virtual
device and all the i/os done on this virtual device will be ultimately
redirected to the original device. Correct me if I am wrong, but I guess th

This is not exactly what I wanted. I will try to elaborate myself.
I am creating my own device which will act as a new boot slice which must be

Hi All,
I am new to FreeBSD and this mailing list as well.
What I want to achieve is change the device of my mount point '/'(or any
other mount point) after I reboot the machine. I have some knowledge about
initrd in Linux in which I can change the device for '/' and than reboot the
machine so
