Unfortunately not, the most you can do is divide that one partition into more partitions and use each of those separately for each file system. Most of those limitations (journal size, usage, etc.) stem from the fact that gjournal is not "proper" file system journaling in the sense that it's implemented outside of the actual file system and is basically independent from it. A "proper" journalled UFS (like Sun's) would behave nicer. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
