X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 00:39:58 -0000 Hiya, I finally resolved the source of my gvinum problems. Every time I reboot, the plexes and volumes come up attached to one another, but both are size zero and the subdisks exist but are not attached. Has anyone a guess about the source of this problem? Also, as an aside, I can add the subdisks manually, but I can't do it in one reboot; the plexes and volumes are attached, and I cannot detach or remove them. I have to first remove all the subdisks and then reboot, then remove the volumes and plexes, and then reload the configuration. I should mention I've already had data loss thanks to this. I'm not really happy with gvinum and if there isn't a simple solution to this I'm going to go back to regular partitions and recommend that everyone else I know running FreeBSD do the same until it is more functional. -- "I sometimes have delusions of adequacy" -- Woody Allen Security "guru" for rent or hire - http://www.lightconsulting.com/~travis/ -><- GPG fingerprint: 9D3F 395A DAC5 5CCC 9066 151D 0A6B 4098 0C55 1484
