I bit the bullet and installed the rc3, after spending half the day fighting to get atheros 9285 working on a new laptop. I have to do another as well, so...

After recovering myself from the shock of the new bsdinstall (not bad. A little confusing after using sysinstall for so long), I installed the system with 1 (thats right One! Ah ha ha) partition - yet another shock to figure through. What I'm staggered about is I was using fdisk to setup journaling on the usr and var partitions.

So I went to the handbook. I'm still a little confused though: can one still setup the usr and var (and so forth)? It said you possibly could, but it escaped me as to how. And before I do- I looked up journaling on 9. I couldn't quite get to the bottom of whether it is or isn't available/standard, or how to determine its happening. I'm only interested because of unexpected shutdowns/battery dead on the laptop- I also have 500G which is a while to wait for fsck. Speed I'd like, but I have to consider system integrity first.

Little light, please?

Cheers
