I see now what's going on: I've forgot to add a step to the README: make a symlink of geom_virstor.so in your /lib/geom directory: /lib/geom# ln -s /path_to_gvirstor/geom_virstor.so Also, take care to remove CFLAGS line from Makefile if you don't have a kernel with INVARIANTS and WITNESS.

Reading "gvirstor implementation details", it is not intended to remove components, is it? If not, it will a grate benefit to allow "take-off" components as some device may go bad while other devices are still functioning when a virstor is created with multiple devices. I tried it anyway. It seemed that I was able to detach md3 and then add md4. Md3 was not used at all when I removed; status only displaed md2 but I was not sure if it was removed perfectly in gvirstor as no mention in the document. Later, I was not able to add md3 back again. These are the command lines I tried # mount /dev/virstor/test /mnt/tmp # tar xf ports.tar.bz -C /mnt/tmp & # ./gvirstor remove test md3 # ./gvirstor add test md4 # ./gvirstor status test # ./gvirstor add test md3 Kernel paniced after a while. Many things were going so it was not sure that gvirstor was the cause of the problem. I will try as time permitts.

I did _not_ write that vinum/gvinum support should be dropped from FreeBSD In fact I'm all for keeping and even improving it, so people have a choice. Having a choice is a good thing, as long as the code is maintained and doesn't suffer from bitrot. If anything is up for removal, I'd vote for removing CCD. Of course you're free to disagree with what I wrote, but you should read what I wrote before placing any verbal attacks that are not justified. > I wouldn't say it's at all better, although it was easier to setup just a > mirror. Vinum is a volume manager, so I expect it to be more complex than > just setting up a mirror. The various GEOM classes (mirror, stripe, raid3 etc.) don't work like vinum or other conventional volume managers, but still they serve the same purpose. Just like ZFS, which also works in a completely different way, but it is also designed to replace conventional volume managers (Solstice comes to mind, which wasn't exactly easy to manage either). The main advantage of GEOM is its flexibility. You can put its classes together like Lego bricks, with few commands that are consistent, easy to remember and well documented (and also easily scriptable). The more and larger volumes you have, the easier it gets. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

I originally set this up on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine and then moved the SATA controllers and the disks over to a newer FreeBSD 5.5 machine. after putting geom_mirror_load="YES" and geom_stripe_load="YES" in my loader.conf and rebooting, the drives and the volumes appeared and my data came up as I expected. But now, I'm getting intermittent freezing on this machine. before adding these disks, this machine functioned fine as my workstation with the same OS install for a few months. During the freezing, I'm not seeing any dmesg errors, but once I changed kern.geom.mirror.debug: 1 and kern.geom.stripe.debug: 1 using sysctl, I am seeing this on each side of the freezing: GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad12 (device mirtwo) marked as dirty. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad16 (device mirthr) marked as dirty. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad4 (device mirone) marked as dirty. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad6 (device mirtwo) marked as dirty. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad14 (device mirthr) marked as dirty. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad8 (device mirone) marked as dirty. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad16 (device mirthr) marked as clean. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad14 (device mirthr) marked as clean. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad12 (device mirtwo) marked as clean. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad6 (device mirtwo) marked as clean. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad4 (device mirone) marked as clean. GEOM_MIRROR[1]: Disk ad8 (device mirone) marked as clean. I see this freezing every 10 or 20 minutes, and it remains frozen for about 90 seconds. I run screen on this machine, and my screen sessions work fine, but trying to run dmesg or w or similar commands results in blocking until the disks start responding again. I tried increasing the debug level to 2, using sysctl, but that gave me way too much info and started constant disk hangups. This volume stores mostly music , accessed via mt-daapd and nfsd. In the previous FreeBSD 5.4 machine, this disk setup worked fine. Also, when I moved the disks from one machine to the other, neither the sata controllers or the disks were connected in the same order, but I was under the impression that that wouldn't matter. Anyone have any ideas? or any suggestions for further debugging?
