Yes, the documentation could be better, especially since the
gjournal(8) man page example
where the entire disk (da0) is tied to a single journal. At least
change the example to read:
gjournal load
gjournal label da0p5
newfs -J /dev/da0p5.journal
mount -o async /dev/da05.journal /mnt
It MIGHT be better to use da0s1g, but I think we want to move toward
GPT, so I suggest
that type of example. Either make it clear that a file system, not a
drive, is the appropriate
application. I am quite aware of this as I just created my first
gjournal file system last night
and was briefly confused by this.
