Hello,
I am running FreeBSD-4.7-realease and want to create a striped plex from
2 new 80Gb disks.
Here's my vinum-description:
drive a device /dev/ad2s1e
drive b device /dev/ad3s1e
volume stripe0
plex org striped 256k
sd length 78159m drive a
sd length 78159m drive b
When I run 'vinum create vinum.conf' The message I get is:
1: drive a device /dev/ad2s1e
** 1 Can't initialize drive a: Invalid argument
2: drive b device /dev/ad3s1e
** 2 Can't initialize drive b: Invalid argument
0 drives:
1 volumes:
V stripe0 State: down Plexes: 1 Size:
152GB
1 plexes:
P stripe0.p0 S State: faulty Subdisks: 2 Size:
152GB
2 subdisks:
S stripe0.p0.s0 State: crashed PO: 0 B Size:
76GB
S stripe0.p0.s1 State: crashed PO: 256 kB Size:
76GB
I used sysinstall to fdisk and label the partitions.
What do need to do diffrent to get vinum to use the partitions?
Help is greatly appreciated.
Grtz, Henk
