"Vunum ld" will list the disks and their status. If you're not sure which physical disk is "da1", you'll probably have to look at the jumper settings on each drive. Another option is to run something like "camcontrol stop da1; camcontrol start da1" or "dd if=/dev/da1 of=/dev/null", and see which disk's activity LED lights up. http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html has some instructions on swapping out a failed drive. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
