Otherwise, looks good. Is there really no loader.conf option? That kinda sucks, although I can't volunteer to fix that!

Hello,
Since you submit PRs from time to time, you should have a look to the
FDP primer; it's impossible for us to use your patch like this (missing
tags, missing punctuation, mix of inline and block elements, wrong
"wrap-lines", indentation issues, misuse of SGML tags).

Sure about that? It's been a while since I played with gbde (now it's
just running) but I'm rather sure 'geom_bde_load="YES"' in loader.conf
works just fine.
I only have a 7.0 handy that I can reboot, but there it works just
fine loading gbde from loader.conf.

I see geom_bde.ko in /boot/kernel but it's not in /boot/default/loader.conf This is on a 5.4 system. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel trhodes 2006-11-04 11:02:41 UTC

Modified files:
en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks chapter.sgml
Log:
Add a note (step) showing that you can load gdbe using kldload(8);
at this time there is no loader.conf variable in defaults/loader.conf in 6,
note that.
Remove some old cruft and reword near sentence to keep flow going smoothly.
Two spaces between the end of a sentence and the beginning of a new sentence.

State Changed From-To: open->closed Your patch was modified to fit document style and make it buildable. You're right, there is no defaults/loader.conf option, so I left that information. Thanks for the submission. In the future, to help your patches get committed, I recommend reading over the FDP. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-doc->trhodes Over to me. |
