How do I get sysinstall to recognize a gmirror?
I've created the mirror -- which currently has only one provider --
using Fixit#, followed by
Fixit# ln -s /dist/boot/kernel /boot
Fixit# gmirror load
after which /dev/mirror/gm0{,a,b} exist. However, even after
rescanning the disks, sysinstall doesn't include gm0 in its
drive list. I also tried:
Fixit# ( cd /dev && ln -s mirror/* . && ll gm* )
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 10 Sep 6 10:48 gm0@ -> mirror/gm0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 10 Sep 6 10:48 gm0a@ -> mirror/gm0a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 10 Sep 6 10:48 gm0b@ -> mirror/gm0b
in case sysinstall looks only in /dev itself and not in any
subdirectories, and that didn't help. I even tried:
Fixit# ( cd /dev && ln -s mirror/gm0 ar0 \
&& for p in a b d e ; \
do ln -s mirror/gm0$p ar0$p ; done && ll ar* )
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 10 Sep 6 10:48 ar0@ -> mirror/gm0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 10 Sep 6 10:48 ar0a@ -> mirror/gm0a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 10 Sep 6 10:48 ar0b@ -> mirror/gm0b
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 10 Sep 6 10:48 ar0d@ -> mirror/gm0d
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 0 10 Sep 6 10:48 ar0e@ -> mirror/gm0e
in case sysinstall looks only for names of known disk drivers,
and that didn't help either.
