I built a server with a fresh install of FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE for its use as a NAS, before I was using a Gentoo box with LVM2 and EXT4 for my storage needs (enough to say I'm new to FreeBSD), now that I have my zpool ready I want to migrate my data, the HDDs are plugged in the server and the GEOM module is loaded, I used
The LVM is made up of three HDDs, two of 1 TB and one of 2 TB, the 1 TB disks have a MBR partition table, the 2 TB disk have a GPT partition table, which worked in Linux but in FreeBSD when I run
It only shows the disk with GPT, it leads me to the question, does the GEOM linux_lvm module supports MBR partitioning? Or maybe I am missing something.
geom linux_lvm load but it does not create the device at /dev/linux_lvm.The LVM is made up of three HDDs, two of 1 TB and one of 2 TB, the 1 TB disks have a MBR partition table, the 2 TB disk have a GPT partition table, which worked in Linux but in FreeBSD when I run
geom linux_lvm list -a I get:
