Hi Gary,

I didn't take a deep look into your debug infos,
but I had a similar problem (posted yesterday
to freebsd-isp and freebsd-scsi).
In my case it seems that vinum's message was faulty.
I just had to start the second subdisk seperatly, then
it revived and afterwards everything was fine in the
"up" state. I suppose that vinum wanted to tell me,
that the second plex was not consistent with the first.
Of course the volume works in both cases, whether
the second plex is available or not, that's what
you intend in the mirror configuration.
This is an excerpt of the vinum commands I used:
create -v <configfile>
init -v -w mirror.p0
init -v -w mirror.p1
start mirror
start mirror.p1.s0 <--- before doing this, the second
plex was shown as "faulty"
This was my vinum config file (taken from
the mirror example in the manpage):
# vinum config file
drive d1 device /dev/da1a
drive d2 device /dev/da2a
volume mirror
plex org concat
sd length 0 drive d1
plex org concat
sd length 0 drive d2
Cheers
Ulrich
