Hi,
this is now my last try before switching to ccd.

I'm a bit clueless what else to try to get vinum workin'.
What i did:

Installed FreeBSD 3.2RELEASE out of the (CD)box.

Following the Handbook and the manpages i created the slices.
i have 2 8GB disks da2 and da3 for a striped volume
on both created a single slice of type freebsd(165) using the whole
disk with a true partition entry.

created the config file:

drive a device /dev/da2s1
drive b device /dev/da3s1
volume userdisk
  plex org striped 512k
   sd length 8192M drive a
   sd length 8192M drive b

when i do the vinum-create it reports all disks, volume, plex as up, however
on both disks avail: is 0/8192M 0%

newfs -v /dev/vinum/userdisk works and transfer data to the disk.

But if i stop vinum and then do vinum start, the whole volume is gone and
no configuration is found.

I hope someone can help 'cause i need this really soon to get a news-server up.

Cheers, Roland
