Hi. I setup a disk stripping with two disks and vinum. I was impressed about the quick and easy setup. The configuration is, that i installed FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2 on /, a little bit of swap, and the gave the rest for vinum. So the two disks have both a bootable / and /usr and /var is on vinum. All went fine and was working. Yes, was... A colleague of mine went to the server, took the first HD out, and tried to boot. Crash. Single user mode. Thats it. (strange guy...). Ok, i put the second HD in, rebooted the server, and still found myself in single user. fsck on vinum does not work (but the filesystem wants to do a fsck). So i looked at "vinum ls" output an saw that vinum is marked as "crashed". After a #vinum vinum --> start the stripping was up again. Happy happy joy joy i thought and i booted into multiuser mode. To test it out, i rebooted the machine, and, no more happy happy und no more joy joy, the system boots in single user mode, wants to fsck vinum, can not do that.... Yes, i know, it would be fine to post some error messages, but right now i dont have any access to that machine. So, what could be the problem, and how to solve it. I appreciate any hints. asg
