Looks good. I have a few critiques: 1) Linux and FreeBSD do not have alignment requirements, as far as I know. So you may want to include a note about this when you say "Create partition for /. It should start at the 1M boundary for alignment on 4K sector drives, or 2048 blocks:" This would only be necessary for dual-boot with an OS that has alignment requirements such as windows. This would essentially be the difference between the two old methods of dedicated and not. 2) Perhaps add a note about softupdates (-U) for partitions other than / when you describe the newfs steps. 3) I like to put /root in its own partition on the off chance that it fills up. That way it's in a little sandbox and does not fill /. But this is personal preference, I guess. I think your article would be a good place to start for making an updated section in the handbook. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
