With a little bit of spare time, I decided I should clean-up the disk allocation on crimson, and remove a redundant FreeBSD install. As part of this I also found I had forgotten about 130GB of disk space, so that was a bit of a bonus.
The plan was to
tank and
tank1 into one, placed on the largest disk (250GB).
tank partition as EXT4 and allocate it to
Debian silver, so that silver controls all of hd1.
This was a relativley simple exercise, but I did learn (or
re-learn?) something about FreeBSD gpart. It is not
possible to destroy a partiton until all the child slices have been
destroyed. If this is not done, you will see the rather ambiguous
error message:
Device busy.
Anyway, this give me a much simpler organisation on the crimson hardware:
| Disk Type | Grub | FreeBSD | Linux | OpenBSD | Part. | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WDC WD800BB 80GB | hd0 | ata0 | sda | wd0 | 1 | FreeBSD (crimson) |
| Maxtor 6L080J4 80GB | hd1 | ata2 | sdb | wd1 | 1-11 (except 3) | Debian Jessie (silver) 40GB |
| Maxtor 6L080J4 80GB | hd1 | ata2 | sdb | wd1 | 3 | Debian Jessie (silver) /tank 40GB |
| WDC WD1600 160GB | hd2 | ata2 | sdc | wd2 | 3 | OpenBSD (chrome) |
| Seagate STM3250 250GB | hd3 | ata3 | sdd | wd3 | 1 | FreeBSD (crimson) /tank |
