Hi everybody,
I assume this is kind of basic and has been discussed a bazillion
times. So please do NOT kill me.
We have to partiton two RAID drives with 7 x RZ28 and 4 x Quantum
Atlas. What I don't know (and can't find it either) is which
partition MUST overlap other partitions.
I would like to have as many rew partitions as possible (advfs won't
do, I need raw partitions for a database). So, does 'c' have
to be the whole drive? Do 'g' and 'h' have to overlap 'd', 'e' and
'f'? Or can I use all 8 partions available?
Does 'a' necessarily have to use the first cylinder?
The standard disklabel for 're'-drives gives me
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 131072 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 31)
b: 262144 131072 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 32 - 95)
c: 25196544 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - 6151*)
d: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
e: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
f: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
g: 24803328 393216 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 96 - 6151*)
h: 0 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - -1)
What I want is something like that:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 3600384 0 unused 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 1 - 878)
b: 3600384 3600384 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 879 - 1756)
c: 25196544 0 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 0 - 6151*)
d: 3600384 7200768 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 1757 - 2634*)
e: 3600384 10801152 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 2635-3512)
f: 3600384 14401536 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 3513-4390)
g: 3600384 18001920 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl. 4391-5268)
h: 3612672 21602304 unused 1024 8192 # (Cyl 5269-6151)
Is that possible?
TIA, I will summarize
Juergen
