Subject:   vinum with 33 disks doesnt work.

Hi all, im building a 32 * 72 GB fileserver. Im trying to use vinum
to create 4 seperate stripes of 8 disks. A similar setup on another
box but with 1 set of 8 disks works fine.

No matter what I try on this box though, disk da32 (the bootdisk is da0, and
we have 32 disks extra) can not be added to a stripe. It remains in
state 'referenced'. Everything upto disk da31 works fine. Building
3 x 8 and 1 x 7 works fine too. But i can not create a 4th set of 8.

I think the problem lies with the fact that da32 starts using hex
minor device numbers. The last partition in da31 uses 256. Probably
vinum doesnt take this into account.

This is on a FreeBSD 4.1. Ive heard from someone else that they managed
to create a 48 disk vinum partition on 3.2.

Anyone seen similar problems on 4.1? Or have an idea of what might cause
this?

Regards,

Cor Bosman
