Hello FreeBSD Fans ;-),
I have a probably simple question,which kept me busy for several days by now.
I have a few years experience with Linux and would like to extend my knowledge
now to the BSD*s.
Hopefully my question is not too stupid so that somebody can point me into the
correct direction. Anyway here we go...
During the FreeBSD installation I would like to pass parameters to the programm
which creates the filesystem *newfs if I understand that correctly.
I would like to pass the following options: nosuid, noexec, userquota &
groupquota to some partitions.
Whatever I do - even when I want to pass only a single option - I get as a error
message "Invalid argument"
1) Are the above options "nosuid, noexec, userquota, groupquota" valid options
to be passed to the installer programme newfs or do I have some misspells here
?
2) How would I separate several options in the installers input screen after
pressing "G", by komma (,) by semicolon (;) or just by space ( ) ?
I did search the mailing lists up and down and consulted my book from Michael
Lucas and googled, but somehow I didnt find the answer.
I would appreciate any replies.
Best regards
Nils Valentin
