.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used for device concatenation configuration.
|
|
The concatenation can be configured using two different methods:
|
|
.Dq manual
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq automatic .
|
|
When using the
|
|
.Dq manual
|
|
method no metadata are stored on the devices, so the concatenated
|
|
device has to be configured by hand every time it is needed.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq automatic
|
|
method use on\-disk metadata to detect devices.
|
|
Once devices are labeled they will be automatically detected and
|
|
configured.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first argument to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
indicate an action to be performed:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Ar destroy"
|
|
.It Ar create
|
|
Concatenate the given devices with specified
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
This is the
|
|
.Dq manual
|
|
method.
|
|
The kernel module
|
|
.Pa geom_concat.ko
|
|
will be loaded if it is not loaded already.
|
|
.It Ar label
|
|
Concatenate the given devices with the specified
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
This is the
|
|
.Dq automatic
|
|
method, where metadata are stored in every device's last sector.
|
|
The kernel module
|
|
.Pa geom_concat.ko
|
|
will be loaded if it is not loaded already.
|
|
.It Ar destroy
|
|
Turn off existing concatenate device by its
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
.It Ar clear
|
|
Clear metadata on given device(s).
|
|
.It Ar list
|
|
List currently configured device(s).

Additional options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl f"
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Force removal of specified concatenated device.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Be more verbose.

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following example show how to configure four disks for automatic
|
|
concatenation, create file system on it, and mount it:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
gconcat label -v data /dev/da0 /dev/da1 /dev/da2 /dev/da3
|
|
newfs /dev/data.concat
|
|
mount /dev/data.concat /mnt
