How best to submit update proposals for The Guide 16.3 (raidframe) Example?



Hi All,

After my recent issues installing the bootloader on a raidframe set,
I believe there are a couple of things that need revision in
The Guide raidframe section. What would be my best way to markup
the sections with proposed edits and clarifications?

Here are the things that need fixed IMO...

Section 16.3.6
 <Next, format the newly created / partition as a 4.2BSD FFSv1 File System:
 <
 <# newfs -O 1 /dev/rraid0a

 >Next, format the newly created / partition as a 4.2BSD FFSv1 (-O 1) or
 >FFSv2 (-O 2) File System. If your disk is less than 1TB, FFSv1 is
 >acceptable. Extended attributes are only supported in FFSv1, which
 >means that if you want to use gluster you need FFSv1. FFSv2 is the
 >default for new sysinstall filesystems.:

 ># newfs -O 1 /dev/rraid0a

Section 16.3.7
 <On x86, install the boot loader into /dev/rwd1a :
 <
 <# /usr/sbin/installboot -o timeout=30 -v /dev/rwd1a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2
 <File system:         /dev/rwd1a
 <Primary bootstrap:   /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2

 >On x86, install the boot loader into /dev/rwd1a, remember to use the
same ffsvx as used
 >in newfs above or see note below to determine the correct filesystem type:
 >
 ># /usr/sbin/installboot -t raid -o timeout=30 -v /dev/rwd1a
/usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
 >File system:         /dev/rwd1a
 >Primary bootstrap:   /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1

and

 <To find out which filesystem type is currently in use, the command
file(1) or dumpfs(8) can be used:
 <
 <# /usr/bin/file -s /dev/rwd1a
 </usr/bin/file -s /dev/rwd1a
 </dev/rwd1a: Unix Fast File system [v2] (little-endian), last mounted on ...
 <or
 <
 <# /usr/sbin/dumpfs -s /dev/rwd1a

 >To find out which filesystem type is currently in use, the command
file(1) or dumpfs(8) can be used:
 >
 ># /usr/bin/file -s /dev/rraid0a
 >/dev/rraid0a: Unix Fast File system [v1] (little-endian), last mounted
on ...
 >or

 >format  FFSv1

thanks,
