Okay, I did actually do my best to follow this but maybe got sidetracked. I'm just going to bullet point these now so I don't miss any of them out. * Problems: ``dd'' cloned disk ``does not work'' (i.e. gstat shows no activity on the cloned disk during reading of files). Also see previous emails. * Version: FreeBSD 5.2.1-p1. * Changes to system: Originally vinum ran on 4.9-STABLE. This worked but had periodic ``disk crashes'' (i.e. vinum states disk as offline). I don't think this is the problem as the same behaviour happens with 5.2.1-p1 using the original dodgy disk (only GEOM removes it instead of vinum). * Vinum list (excuse lack of wrapping). vinumdrive2/ad3 is the cloned disk. The failed volume is data (I don't think you need the others but I'll leave them, just in case ;): vinum -> list 3 drives: D vinumdrive2 State: up /dev/ad3s1h A: 0/95558 MB (0%) D vinumdrive1 State: up /dev/ad2s1h A: 0/117246 MB (0%) D vinumdrive0 State: up /dev/ad1s1h A: 0/117246 MB (0%) 5 volumes: V root State: up Plexes: 2 Size: 255 MB V swap State: up Plexes: 2 Size: 459 MB V var State: up Plexes: 2 Size: 256 MB V usr State: up Plexes: 2 Size: 12 GB V data State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 295 GB 9 plexes: P root.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 255 MB P root.p1 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 255 MB P swap.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 459 MB P swap.p1 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 459 MB P var.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 256 MB P var.p1 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 256 MB P usr.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 12 GB P usr.p1 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 12 GB P data.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 3 Size: 295 GB 11 subdisks: S root.p0.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive0 Size: 255 MB S root.p1.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive1 Size: 255 MB S swap.p0.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive0 Size: 459 MB S swap.p1.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive1 Size: 459 MB S var.p0.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive0 Size: 256 MB S var.p1.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive1 Size: 256 MB S usr.p0.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive0 Size: 12 GB S usr.p1.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive1 Size: 12 GB S data.p0.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive0 Size: 100 GB S data.p0.s1 State: up D: vinumdrive1 Size: 100 GB S data.p0.s2 State: up D: vinumdrive2 Size: 93 GB * Vinum history. I mounted the volume (which was not unmounted properly -- fsck took place first) and watched a few films. Eventually I stumbled across one that didn't even start. I am certain vinum isn't reading anything from ad3 -- gstat during fsck showed *NO* activity on ad3/vinumdrive2: 19 Mar 2004 02:46:38.668561 *** vinum started *** 19 Mar 2004 02:46:39.266076 list=20 19 Mar 2004 02:56:23.538633 *** vinum started *** * /var/log/messages extract. I originally started vinum a long while before, I included this entry too (excuse wrapping): Mar 17 23:33:57 amnesia kernel: vinum: loaded Mar 17 23:34:00 amnesia kernel: vinum: reading configuration from /dev/ad1s= 1h Mar 17 23:34:00 amnesia kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad2= s1h Mar 17 23:34:00 amnesia kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad3= s1h Mar 19 02:49:26 amnesia kernel: WARNING: /mnt/data was not properly dismoun= ted Mar 19 02:52:15 amnesia kernel: vinum: null rqg This seems a little odd to me -- previously I had not had a null rqg error. I think maybe I didn't test it enough. Since these are mostly avi files I can tell if they are broken on not by seeing if they have an index -- last time they all played but many without indexes. Nothing has changed since then; maybe I wasn't being thorough enough? * Crash dump: No. *** End of how-to-debug *** > > During the process a number (maybe eight to ten) I/O errors were > > reported.=20 These were dd errors. I didn't write these down at the time (silly of me) and I'm not sure they even go into any log files. However, I have found the exact error messages I got (although the offsets are wrong). If required I will re-run dd and provide the full errors. The messages were: dd: reading `/dev/ad3': Input/output error 4401038+1 records in 4401038+1 records out and then I got dropped to a prompt. Only when I specified the extra option conv=3Dnoerror did dd continue. Of course I still received these I/O errors but dd just ignored them. In a reply to my original question you stated that ``dd if=3Dad3 of=3Dad1 bs=3D8192 conv=3Dnoerror'' ``may or may not work, depending on details you haven't reported.'' Do these detailed errors help at all? I just read a thread[1] about dd that makes me wonder whether it would have been. I think that's everything. I'm just going to include some other stuff =66rom earlier emails that has been chopped earlier. Maybe it has some relevance: =3D fsck_ufs /dev/vinum/data gives the following message: =3D ** /dev/vinum/data =3D cannot alloc 4316869296 bytes for inphead Thanks very much for taking the time to look at this! -lewiz.
