Many of the sections in the Storage chapter are very outdated. Here is
a rewrite of the Adding Disks section:
original version:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-adding.html
new version:
http://wonkity.com/~wblock/addingdisks/disks-adding.html
diff: http://wonkity.com/~wblock/addingdisks/handbook-disks-adding.diff
Changes:
SATA rather than SCSI
GPT rather than MBR (and a link to Wikipedia GPT ref)
gpart rather than fdisk/bsdlabel
no sysinstall
no dedicated mode
It is much shorter than the original, and has far less distractions like
the numerous problems of MBR. Because it is a fairly big change, I'd
like to get feedback on the various outrages it may commit in terms of
completeness, justice, or, well, anything.
One possible addition as a new section would be complete setup of a new
disk for the operating system, incorporating some of the content that is
now at http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html . I'd
envision that as a mostly-commands section, and think it would follow
this simple introduction well.
