I have started experimenting with gjournal filesystems this weekend. I found something that may be a mistake I made. Not sure.
To break up my IDE drive into the filesystems I wanted I created multiple slices. On slice 2 I had multiple gjournal filesystems. I tried creating a journal on slice 3 (ad0s3d I think), but it failed. It actually created a journal entry in /dev, but I had trouble using it. I then tried to remove the journal. Then a journal entry in /dev appeared for the slice itself (/dev/ad0s3.journal). If I removed the journal on the slice the partition journal reappeared. I was able to get my filesystems the way I wanted by not using slice 3 and putting the remaining fileystem in slice 2. Are there any internal requirement that a slice must be fully utilized with partitions before a new slice may be used? I think I was able to create a standard UFS2 filesystem on slice 3 and just had trouble with the journal. This was not a major problem for me, just curious.
