Three questions would help me, so I'll ask them. 1) how do I erase the existing screwed up config? Reconfig is naturally one of the commands that isn't recognized. 2) for the subdisk command, the "length" parameter, I can't tell if this means the entire size of the subdisk, or is it possibly got something to do with the size of the mirroring bites? 3) I can't seem to attach the subdisks to the volume or plex, so the volume/plex size remains 0. Again, "attach" isn't recognized). The only way I have done things so far is to put stuff into the config file, and use "create" to read that. How do I attach a subdisk to a plex or volume? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@chuckr.org | electronics, communications, and SF/Fantasy.
