I think after that last time, it came up OK. In upgrading one of my systems from 3.1-RELEASE to 3.3-RELEASE[*], I couldn't get vinum to recognize my existing volume (it kept on thinking that the disks were crashed). After a couple frustrating hours, I ended up blowing away the volume and recreating it ("vinum resetconfig" is your friend ;-). Fortunately, I backed up the system before upgrading it. ;-) [*] -- My 3.3-RELEASE subscription disk arrived in the mail, and I thought, "What the hell -- it's about time I upgraded". Urg. I knew I was in for some fun, as I'm using both vinum and softupdates, but I wasn't expecting to actually *use* my backups ;-). I think it's time I moved that system to -stable, anyway. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Hewlett-Packard, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
