Zero the first Megs of the vinum partitions to get the old vinumconfig out of the way before adding the drives to vinum. I remember that I had the problem if the drive I want to add to vinum had a different name before. What OS version are you running? It happened for me on a production machine too and I wasn't able to reproduce it with a recent version later so I asumed it's already fixed. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
