Operating Systems BSD FreeBSD Label Editor Post-install Question Post 302277649 by septima.pars on Saturday 17th of January 2009 06:53:23 AM

FreeBSD Label Editor Post-install Question

Hello there,

Over the past few days I have installed FreeBSD 7.1 (which i'm new at)
to an external Hard Drive.

When installing, I chose to partition the disk Automatically and now I'm trying to use the label editor (post-installation configuration) to name the mount points:

/
/usr
/var
/home

...on each of the separate partitions.
_______________________________________________________________

My question is when I start to label the mount points with the Label Editor and attempt to 'write' (finalize) my changes, i get an error saying something to the effect of "the disk could not be mounted" along with "operation not permitted"
(these errors are for EACH partition btw)

What am I doing wrong? How am I able to make my changes 'permanent' ?

P.S.

After being prompted, I also set the following because I was informed I could not perform the operations on disks that were in use.

Code:
sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16


Thanks for any pointers : )

NAME
README.freebsd - Perl version 5 on FreeBSD systems DESCRIPTION
This document describes various features of FreeBSD that will affect how Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs. FreeBSD core dumps from readdir_r with ithreads When perl is configured to use ithreads, it will use re-entrant library calls in preference to non-re-entrant versions. There is a bug in FreeBSD's "readdir_r" function in versions 4.5 and earlier that can cause a SEGV when reading large directories. A patch for FreeBSD libc is available (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc/30631 ) which has been integrated into FreeBSD 4.6. $^X doesn't always contain a full path in FreeBSD perl 5.8.0 sets $^X where possible to a full path by asking the operating system. On FreeBSD the full path of the perl interpreter is found by reading the symlink /proc/curproc/file. There is a bug on FreeBSD, where the result of reading this symlink is can be wrong in certain circumstances (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=35703 ). In these cases perl will fall back to the old behaviour of using C's argv[0] value for $^X. Perl will no longer be part of "base FreeBSD" Not as bad as it sounds--what this means is that Perl will no longer be part of the kernel build system of FreeBSD. Perl will still very probably be part of the "default install", and in any case the latest version will be in the ports system. The first FreeBSD version this change will affect is 5.0, all 4.n versions will keep the status quo. AUTHOR
