I didn't let the disks sync first, so I'm going to allow that to complete then try again. I have a sinking feeling that the controller doesn't keep track of the status of the mirror pairs too well and will allow you to read blocks off the unsynchronized side of the mirror, which will result in bizarre panics. Hopefully I can keep the system on long enough to sync the disks ... the disks I'm using need forced-air cooling or they _will_ melt. As regards your vinum problems, I suspect thats a bug, unless your IBM array has the same problem and it coughed up a corrupt block on an array read. I don't have the necessary equipment to replicate that configuration or I'd test that too :-) -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
