I asked Greg Lehey about this a few months ago, first giving some rough
ideas I had about setting it up (but I was starting the system with vinum,
not setting it up later). This is what he replied with, modified for your
situation:
(You will, of course, need to change device names and the volume names in
the config. I also recommend downloading the latest vinum from
ftp.nanyang-computer.com/pub/vinum or ftp.lemis.com/pub/vinum)
1. Create the second halves of the vinum volum on the second disk:
drive drive2 device /dev/da1s1h
volume usr
plex org concat
sd length 2952m drive drive2
2. newfs them and copy /usr to volume usr. (the best way, i've found, is to
mount the new usr to /usr2 and then 'tar -c -C /usr -f - . | tar -xvp -C
/usr2 -f -')
3. Change your /etc/fstab to mount /usr from /dev/vinum/usr.
4. Reboot. You should now come up with /usr on
/dev/vinum/usr.
5. Change the partition type of /dev/da0s0h to ``vinum''. (if it doesn't
allow 'vinum' use 'unused' instead)
6. Add a plex to /dev/vinum/usr:
plex org concat volume usr
sd length 2952m drive drive2
7. Start the subdisks of the new plexes:
vinum start usr.p1.s0
Before you start the process, I strongly recommend that you thoroughly read
through the manpages that the vinum tarball gives you.
