One of the disks in the RAID is down according to "vinum list". I could use some honts on how to determine which physical disk is named what in my system, is there a good path to follow by disconnect one, write down whats left and then re-connect it and connect another one? WHich command is best to use to get a list of all connected disks? I use "ls /dev/" by now. Also if there is something else I should consider in this case, please don't hesitate to correct and guide me. Thanks in advance, Joachim -----------------
