Help with SWAP on FreeBSD 9.1

[mefizto]

Greatings all,

inspired by Vermaden's excellent HOWTO at Thread 12082, I have accomplished installation of the base system onto a USB flash drive.

I would now like to add a zpool comprising a mirror of two hard drives for SWAP and data. So I have formatted the two hard drives X=1,2, as follows:

gpart create -s gpt adaX
gpart add -t freebsd-swap -l SWAP0X -s 5GB adaX
gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -l DATA0X adaX

I do not want the swap to be mirrored, so I think the next step is to create mirror on the data partition as follows:

zpool create data mirror ada0p2 ada1p2
set mountpoint=/data data

However, I do not know how to deal with the swap partition. Do I mount it via /etc/fstab? And if so, how do I deal with the two swap partitions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,

M

Do I mount it via /etc/fstab?

Yes.

And if so, how do I deal with the two swap partitions?

Add more entries:

/dev/ada1s1b            none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/ada2s1b            none            swap    sw              0       0
