I'm attempting to create a striped raid out of 2 drives of equal size.  =
I created the /etc/vinum.conf file which reads as:

    drive da2 device /dev/da2s1e
    drive da3 device /dev/da3s1e
    volume stripe
        plex org striped 256k
            sd length 17272m drive da2
            sd length 17272m drive da3

After I created the config file I started up vinum and typed:

    vinum > create -f /etc/vinum.conf
    vinum > quit

Once I did that I created a new fs and mounted it:

    newfs -v /dev/vinum/stripe  =20
    mount /dev/vinum/stripe /stripe

All worked fine, I now had a 36GB striped raid which I could access.  So =
after everything seemed to work fine I created a spot in the fstab =
reading:

    /dev/vinum/stripe    /stripe    ufs    rw    2    2

I restarted the computer and it didn't work....it came up saying that =
there was an inconsistency with fstab and kicked me into single-user =
mode.
I removed that line from fstab and restarted once more, once it =
restarted and I logged into root I tried to mount /stripe and it came up =
saying '/dev/vinum/stripe not configured' .  I then started up vinum =
again and typed 'list' and it showed that nothing was getting striped it =
seemed.  In order to get things working again I had to do the 'create -f =
/etc/vinum.conf' command in vinum, create the newfs and then mount it.  =
Is there a way to make it so that I don't have to keep doing this =
everytime I start up the computer.

Any help would be much appreciated,=20
Thx,
Dave
