To be honest, I don't remember... I jotted down these notes as I was
building the system, but needed to get it back in production and didn't
have a lot of time to try different options. I do remember that when
I followed the tutorial instructions *exactly*, it failed.. I think that
the error message was something about "can't rewrite disk label". I
believe that I needed to do the disklabel trick to get the newfs to
complete.

Perhaps the tutorial should be updated to point folks towards vinum?

Thanks,
