Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, im building a 32 * 72 GB fileserver. Im trying to use vinum to create 4 seperate stripes of 8 disks. A similar setup on another box but with 1 set of 8 disks works fine. No matter what I try on this box though, disk da32 (the bootdisk is da0, and we have 32 disks extra) can not be added to a stripe. It remains in state 'referenced'. Everything upto disk da31 works fine. Building 3 x 8 and 1 x 7 works fine too. But i can not create a 4th set of 8. I think the problem lies with the fact that da32 starts using hex minor device numbers. The last partition in da31 uses 256. Probably vinum doesnt take this into account. This is on a FreeBSD 4.1. Ive heard from someone else that they managed to create a 48 disk vinum partition on 3.2. Anyone seen similar problems on 4.1? Or have an idea of what might cause this?
