I assume this is a reply to Thierry's question: > Is the following correct : > vinum_drives="/dev/wd1s1h /dev/wd2s1h" > or should it be > vinum_drives="/dev/wd1h /dev/wd2h" I stated that the correct answer was to set the start_vinum variable, but there are reasons to use vinum_drives (otherwise it wouldn't be there). You use vinum_drives to specify that you want to start only certain drives, not all of them. In this case, yes, it should be /dev/wd1 and /dev/wd2 (or /dev/wd1s1 and /dev/wd2s1 if you insist). There should be no partition letter at the end. Note also that vinum will not use partition c.
