Iturbe" Subject: Newbie needs help with devices and vinum Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am quite experienced in Linux (Slackware) but brand new to FreeBSD and I= =20 have a few questions. In Linux, scsi devices had IDs like sda, sdb, etc and partitions had names= =20 like sda1, sda2 etc. In FreeBSD I find myself with many more options and devices, I assume that= =20 da0 is my first scsi drive and if da0s1 would be a partition on then what=20 are da0h, da0g, etc... or a more important question is where can I rad up=20 on it??! The reason for all this is because I am trying to install vinum, I have two= =20 9 gig scsi drives and I would like have them mirror each other. If fstab shows these partitions mounted as da0s1a, da0s1b, etc then what=20 would be a proper config file for vinum? I did not find that vinum manual= =20 all that easy to read through. I know it has to look something like drive c device /dev/da0h drive d device /dev/da1h volume stripe plex org striped 512k sd length 4096m drive a sd length 4096m drive b sd length 4096m drive c sd length 4096m drive d or something like that... Thanks for any light you might be able to shed on this matter *********************************************** ICQ 22921676 MSM Interactive. Dario Urzua 1940, Providencia, Chile.
