I must admit I am confused by slices and partitions. I only want to use
FreeBSD on this box. It has 4 drives detected as follows:
ad6 - 750 GB
ad8 - 500 GB
ad12 - 500 GB
ad14 - 500 GB
My thought is to break the disks up as so:
ad6
a: 500M
b: 500M
d: 465G
e: 225G (rest of drive)
ad8
a: 500M
b: 500M
d: 465G (rest of drive)
ad12
b: 1000M
d: 465G (rest of drive)
ad14
b: 1000M
d: 465G (rest of drive)
Then to install, I want to use gmirror and zfs as so:
/ - mirror ad6a and ad8a
swap - all the b: partitions (if that's the right term) for a total of 3
GB swap.
zfs - make a raid1z zpool with ad6d, ad8d, ad12d, and ad14d. in this
pool I will create /usr and /var
ad6e will just be extra space for some other use.
So does my plan make sense? And if so, how can I best accomplish it?
Thanks,
Drew
