Maybe I can create a mount point on /mnt/pools/B/B0, seems logical.Whoops forgot to mkfs.Run “mkfs /dev/sdc1″“mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/pools/B/B0/”Hmmmm…..“umount /dev/sdc1″Tried to partition with parted (core dumps, ix2 running ver 1.8.  pretty sure GPT partition support not ready for primetime in vet 1.8)Let see if I can get a new version of parted.Enabled apt-get (required a little work)cd /mnt/pools/A/A0mkdir .systemcd .systemmkdir ./var; mkdir ./var/lib/; mkdir ./var/cache; mkdir ./var/lib/apt; mkdir ./var/cache/apt;  mkdir ./var/lib/apt/lists; mkdir ./var/lib/apt/lists/partial; mkdir ./var/cache/apt/archives
