UFS gpart

[qabsou]

Hi,

I am using freeBSD 8.2(I know it is old, but this can not be changed).I want to create two partitions(for log giles etc..) in a SSD disk,partitions need to be aligned, otherwise I will end up
getting alignment faults.gpart does not seem to have the -a (alignement)option in this release(8.2).Has someone a proposal to do this?

You can specity the begin of a block with the -b option of gpart add. Please see the second example in http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/ssd.html in which gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -l ssdrootfs -b 1m -s 2g ada0 an aligned partition is added. Is TRIM supported in FreeBSD 8.2? This might be an additional concern.

We don't support version 8.2 here, and you already know that. Right now only 10.3, 10-STABLE, 11.0, and 11-STABLE are supported. The relevant part of the forum rules:

We prefer not to encourage any further use of these unsupported versions. If you are not at liberty to upgrade to a supported version, you may still receive a reply to your question, but you must be prepared for continuous pressure from fellow users and forums staff to upgrade to a supported version. Moreover, some users may not feel like participating in topics that deal with unsupported versions at all. So be prepared for a lack of replies.

It can be changed. Even if you are running some sort of weird application that needs FreeBSD 8, you can always install misc/compat8x to ensure compatibility.
