Issuing the 'start' command was prolly wrong, but methinks crashing the whole system is a bad way to tell me that. :-) - a few times after configing disks and leaving 'vinum' with a 'quit', the system would dump core. - after finally getting the striped volume up, newfs'd, and mounted, the system crashed on me when doing a massive file transfer ('tar cvfp - dir | (cd /newdrive;tar xvfp -)). Unfortunately I'm offsite now, so I can't see what's on the console-- it did not auto restart this time through. Are there some known issues with vinum and 3.2-R, or did I munge the config and vinum's really sensitive? Here's my config: bash-2.02# vinum vinum -> list Configuration summary Drives: 0 (4 configured) Volumes: 0 (4 configured) Plexes: 0 (8 configured) Subdisks: 0 (16 configured) vinum -> drive a device /dev/da0d vinum -> drive b device /dev/da1d vinum -> volume mystripe vinum -> plex org striped 1024k vinum -> sd length 2040m drive a vinum -> sd length 2040m drive b vinum -> list Configuration summary Drives: 2 (4 configured) Volumes: 1 (4 configured) Plexes: 1 (8 configured) Subdisks: 2 (16 configured) D a State: up Device /dev/da0d Avail: 8/2048 MB (0%) D b State: up Device /dev/da1d Avail: 8/2048 MB (0%) V mystripe State: down Plexes: 1 Size: 4080 MB P mystripe.p0 S State: init Subdisks: 2 Size: 4080 MB S mystripe.p0.s0 State: empty PO: 0 B Size: 2040 MB S mystripe.p0.s1 State: empty PO: 1024kB Size: 2040 MB vinum -> init mystripe.p0 vinum[268]: initializing subdisk /dev/vinum/rsd/mystripe.p0.s0 vinum[269]: initializing subdisk /dev/vinum/rsd/mystripe.p0.s1 vinum -> volume mystripe setupstate vinum -> quit bash-2.02# newfs -v /dev//vinum/mystripe ....[succeeded] bash-2.02# mount /dev/vinum/mystripe /newdrive Thanks for any help, jon _____________________________________________________ |Jon Rust | VCNet, Inc |(805) 383-3500| |jpr@vcnet.com | | www.vcnet.com| |---------------------------------------------------| | "So I got that goin' for me, which is nice." -CS | |___________________________________________________| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
