Hi,

I'm playing a bit with vinum. I'm trying to get to work RAID-0
(Striping) on 5.2.1-Release. The two hdds I'm using are slightly
different (38162MB and 39079MB) If I set vinum to use the same size for
both it works nicely, but if I try to use all the space for the second
drive I get this error when trying to newfs the volume:

newfs: wtfs: 65536 bytes at sector 156562592: Inappropriate ioctl for device

If I create a UFS FS on this drive it works fine. I also try to use the
second drive smaller than the first one and when I newfs this new volume
it stays frozen for some seconds and then I get the error:

newfs: wtfs: 512 bytes at sector 156282879: Input/output error

Is this because when using vinum the discs have to be the same size or
am I missing something? The configuration for vinum I'm using is as follows:

drive ad0 device /dev/ad0s1
drive ad1 device /dev/ad1s1
volume stripe
~ plex org striped 256k
~ sd length 38160m drive ad0
~ sd length 38150m drive ad1

I got this from some examples I found. I just change the size for the ad
drive.


I'm not subscribe to the list so please answear to my email.

Thanks,
