Re: new var file system

Hi,

It's somewhere on the same screen where you choose the disks to install on...

What you can also do, is to shell out from the install process and get to a command line. You should then be able to launch disk config from there, or use the command line disklabel.

Cheers,

Rob

Re: new var file system

if you use the gui-install, where you assign partitions to filesystems there is a "edit partitions" button. wich lead you to the disconfig program.

If you youse a ascii-installation you must boot fromj cd, abort the installation script (ctrl-c) and use "disklabel" to change the partitions sizes. (beware it's "ed" not vi or emacs as editor).

Re: new var file system

if you connect the local graphics console with the environment variable "console" set to "graphics" the gui is automatically started when you boot from cd.
but in your recent post i've read you use a telnet session so you won't be able to start the gui.

Re: new var file system

To create a standard disklabel on dsk0.

# disklabel -rw dsk0

You'll want to edit this so, assuming you're familiar with vi.

# EDITOR=vi;export EDITOR
# TERM=vt100;export TERM
# disklabel -e dsk0

Modify the starting and ending values as you need to. Note the values are in 512 byte blocks. So to create your 'a' partition as 2GB you'd need a size of 4194304.

Quit out of vi when you're happy and the disklabel will be written. Check it with

# disklabel -r dsk0

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob
