man gmirror man newfs man mount man fstab man smb.conf man samba gmirror label -b load sambavol /dev/da1 /dev/da2 newfs -U /dev/mirror/sambavol mkdir /sambavol mount /dev/mirror/sambavol /sambavol echo '/dev/mirror/sambavol /sambavol ufs rw 2 2' >> /etc/fstab The samba config depends a log on how you want to use the share and handle authentication and permissions, etc. The sample config file has most of what you need. Here's a starting point for a section to share a /sambavol directory with a samba share name of sambavol: [sambavol] path = /sambavol browseable = yes writable = yes printable = no You will of course need a correctly configured global section and you'll probably want additional entries in the volume section like "public", "guest ok", "only guest", etc. JN _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
