THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

That solved HALF my problem (i.e, it allowed me to
revive one of my two down disks.  This also shows that
vinum CAN handle a fault in both plexes at the same
time.

BUT BUT BUT

I still have another problem -- the same trick does
not work for the OTHER down disk.

vinum-<dumpconfig shows:

sd name raid.p0.s9 drive *invalid* plex raid.p0 len
4402583s driveoffset 265s state crashed plexoffset 0s

Note the "invalid" where the name of my disk should
be.

Apparently VINUM has forgotten that raid.p0.s9 should
be associated with the disk named ahc0t15, so creating
a new disk named ahc0t15 does not associate with the
necessary subdisk.  (*nvalid* does not work as a disk
name).


How do I deal with THIS issue?
