The documentation is a bit fuzzy. Thanks! What is it about the situation that means -f is needed? In any case, it seems -f does not help. I did a stop on the test/test3 volumes followed by an 'rm -r -f test'. I received no error message, but 'vinum l' still lists the test volume - except now it is still in state 'down', rather than having reverted to 'up'. I also tried explicitly stopping the plexes/subdisks, but got 'device busy' (on the plexes/sds). I have included the full output of 'vinum l' below as it shows up now, in case I have missed something. Btw, I should mention that for reasons having to do with my previous testing/playing with vinum, the plex/subdisk relationsships are not what one might think by inspecting the output of 'vinium l'. Here's the output of 'vinum printconfig' (plus manual line wrapping to make it more readable): drive alpha device /dev/da0a drive backup_a_1 device /dev/ad1s1b drive backup_a_2 device /dev/ad0s1a drive beta device unknown volume test volume test3 volume backup_a plex name test.p0 org concat vol test plex name test.p1 org concat vol test plex name test3.p0 org concat vol test3 plex name backup_a.p0 org concat vol backup_a plex name backup_a.p1 org concat vol backup_a sd name test2.p0.s0 drive alpha plex test.p0 len 20480s driveoffset 819465s plexoffset 0s sd name test2.p1.s0 drive beta plex test.p1 len 20480s driveoffset 819465s plexoffset 0s sd name test3.p0.s0 drive alpha plex test3.p0 len 40960s driveoffset 839945s plexoffset 0s sd name backup_a.p0.s0 drive backup_a_1 plex backup_a.p0 len 39936000s driveoffset 265s plexoffset 0s sd name backup_a.p1.s0 drive backup_a_2 plex backup_a.p1 len 39936000s driveoffset 265s plexoffset 0s And 'vinum l': 3 drives: D alpha State: up /dev/da0a A: 17244/488 MB (3532%) D backup_a_1 State: up /dev/ad1s1b A: 31/19531 MB (0%) D backup_a_2 State: up /dev/ad0s1a A: 39/19539 MB (0%) D beta State: referenced unknown A: 0/0 MB 3 volumes: V test State: down Plexes: 2 Size: 10 MB V test3 State: down Plexes: 1 Size: 20 MB V backup_a State: up Plexes: 2 Size: 19 GB 5 plexes: P test.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 10 MB P test.p1 C State: faulty Subdisks: 1 Size: 10 MB P test3.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 20 MB P backup_a.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 19 GB P backup_a.p1 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 19 GB 5 subdisks: S test2.p0.s0 State: up D: alpha Size: 10 MB S test2.p1.s0 State: crashed D: beta Size: 10 MB S test3.p0.s0 State: up D: alpha Size: 20 MB S backup_a.p0.s0 State: up D: backup_a_1 Size: 19 GB S backup_a.p1.s0 State: up D: backup_a_2 Size: 19 GB -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
