--SkvwRMAIpAhPCcCJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I'm trying to find out how to replace a drive in a vinum RAID-5 volume that's still working. I have the following volume (copied by hand, sorry): V local State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 167 GB P local.p0 R5 State: up Subdisks: 4 Size: 167 GB S local.p0.s0 State: up PO: 0 B Size: 55 GB S local.p0.s1 State: up PO: 512 kB Size: 55 GB S local.p0.s2 State: up PO: 1024 kB Size: 55 GB S local.p0.s3 State: up PO: 1536 kB Size: 55 GB with s0..s3 on drives locala..d. Drive localc is on device /dev/ad14s1e, and that's the IDE disk I want to replace. So far, I've thought of doing the following: - boot the system single user - enter vinum - issue 'start' to read the configuration and start all volumes - issue 'stop localc' - this sets the state of local.p0.s2 to degraded automatically - stop vinum - halt the system - physically replace the drive - boot the system single user - fdisk / disklabel the new drive to include a 55GB sized vinum partition - enter vinum - issue 'start' to read the configuration and start all volumes - issue 'start local.p0.s2' to revive the subdisk Can anyone confirm that this procedure will work? Or do I have to add a new drive to the system on the same device as the previous one? --Stijn --=20 The most reliable proof that there are extraterrestrial intelligent lifeforms out there is that nobody actually tries to get in contact with us. -- Dirk Mueller --SkvwRMAIpAhPCcCJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/XvnpY3r/tLQmfWcRAjLiAKCfodq7i2/p+IZQi9uiGL79jFKrtACfdU8c nsFtQYqm1AbE7MFM4ru5M/E= =fy7G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SkvwRMAIpAhPCcCJ--
