3.3-STABLE (as per a cvsup and update from 14 October).
Just starting out with vinum, I've read vinum(4) and vinum(8).
I'm trying to create a mirrored volume of 2 x 9GB drives.
These drives are /dev/da1s1e and /dev/da2s1e, and are
pristine, newfs'd volumes. I don't mount them on boot either,
as I quickly discovered vinum dumps core if you try to
operate on mount devices.
Looking at vinum(8), in "HOW TO SET UP VINUM" section 2, I
created a config file /etc/vinum.cf containing
drive d1 device /dev/da2e
drive d2 device /dev/da3e
volume mirror
plex org concat
sd length 10m drive d1
plex org concat
sd length 10m drive d2
The 10m is just to avoid waiting an age to find out what happens.
I do
bash 2.03# vinum create -v /etc/vinum.cf
1: drive d1 device /dev/da2e
Well, after about 30 minutes, I ^C'd this as nothing more
had happened. I decided to clear out any cruft with
bash 2.03# vinum resetconfig
Enter Text -> NO FUTURE
and it's been over an hour and the command doesn't seem to have
completed.
What's happening? I don't understand why this is taking so long.
I'm becoming confused!
Thanks for any help,
Adam.
