Hey all,
I recently completed the Greek translation of the geom chapter and (as
it has become customary) I also created a patch for the English
version. So I 'd thought to call all my usual reviewers (and anyone
else who cares to comment):
http://people.freebsd.org/~manolis/geom.txt
A brief description of (some) changes:
- Added the messages returned by a gstripe command (as requested by the
original author)
- Change the /mnt as a permanent mount point in fstab, suggested in an
example. Since /mnt is normally used for temporary administrator mounts,
it makes sense to create a specific mount point for a permanent mount.
- Convert a vi editing session to a <note>. The user is free to choose
his editor - although the original vi instructions are handy and should
not be removed
- It seems glabel can create both permanent and temporary labels that
are not file system specific. Reworded the relevant paragraphs
- Add a complete example of labeling a boot disk's partitions, so it can
be used on another controller, or indeed, system
- Journaling does not store the log on the last sector (only metadata
that shows the volume is journaled)
- Loading the geom_journal module during startup - or building it into a
custom kernel
- Add a reference to my gjournal-desktop article ;)
- Minor rewording in paragraphs above / below the actual changes to
avoid repeating the same information
This is a somewhat lengthy patch, for those that feel better reading the
build, here it is:

Any and all comments appreciated :)
