DiskSuite Error While Trying To Stripe/Mirror root (/) to more than 1 disk
I have 8 - 36GB hard drives and 2 controllers. I have created 2 stripe submirror's.
d0 and d1.
d0 is c0t0d0s0 and d1 is c3t0d0s0.
i placed them both in a mirror template of d2.
so now I have RAID 1+0.
the problem i am having is when I try to place the other 3 disks of each of controller to their stripe submirrors ((c0t1d0s0 c0t2d0s0 c0t3d0s0) to d0 and (c3t1d0s0 c3t2d0s0 c3t3d0s0 to d1))
i get the error "you cannot add a concat/stripe with multiple slices to a mirror mounting root"
why isn't it letting me?

Yes, but I found that you can not stripe the root partition.so how would I install software to a partition call /data or /usr/local?gcc and make?and if so, this software is not open source, how would i install this to /data or /usr/local?
# 3
Create a metavolume, then newfs it, create the /data or /usr/local mountpoint, and then mount it as /data or /usr/local as you would a normal volume.Or am I missing something?

but then the question is, is how do i install software to it? when the software asks for a path to install to, it will only let you install to /usr. how would i install it to /data or /usr/local? i tried both of them and it wouldn't let me

Most opensource software installs into /usr/local. If not try running the configure script, if it has one, with the --help option. This shows you if it supports changing the path with the --prefix option. For example gaim lets you run configure --prefix=/opt/where/ever
to set the install path. Other programs may require editing a Makefile.
