      Latest version of 2.0.1-Release x86.
      I'm trying to partition and mirror a drive during install.  It errors right at the end of the drive setup, and prior to file copy.

      I'm guessing I've hit a bug, but I thought I'd throw it out there.  Maybe someone has a workaround.

      FYI: I'm having the same problem as the user in this thread:
      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,49671.0.html

      Execution of the command

      cd / dev && / bin / test-pfSenseMirrors1e | | /bin/sh MAKEDEV pfSenseMirrrors1e

      Failed with a return code of 2.

      The relevant line in the log is:
      MAKEDEV: Can't open MAKEDEV: No such file or directory.

      My understanding is the MAKEDEV script is no longer included in the later versions of FreeBSD.

      I'm partitioning off /var and /usr, based on marcelloc's experience in this thread.
      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,43737.0.html

      (He implements machine redundancy instead of drive redundancy, so he hasn't personally run into this issue.)

      My thanks for any/all advice.

        Why not just use the gmirror option in the installer to make a mirror for you?
