What you show : won't work. Did you write wd0h or /dev/wd0h? What were the error : messages? What appeared in /var/log/messages? What do 'fdisk wd0' : and 'fdisk wd1' say? You're right, I'm sorry - I tend to become somewhat incoherent when I'm frustrated with a problem I do not understand, time for me to take a deep breath and attempt to think rationally again. I'm certaintly not helping anyone help me at the moment. I wrote /dev/wd0h,/dev/wd1e - I didn't leave out the /dev. I understand that what I show won't work, what I do not understand is why.. I feel as though the answer is right smack infront of me and I'm not seeing it. /var/log/messages tells me: Mar 24 12:24:08 epsilon /kernel: vinum: storage.p0.s0 is crashed Mar 24 12:24:08 epsilon /kernel: vinum: storage.p0 is faulty Mar 24 12:24:08 epsilon /kernel: vinum: storage.p0.s1 is crashed That's it, nothing more - I even tried using the default syslog.conf just in case my custom config was knocking out a message or three. That is all I get period though. This you have already explained though. My fdisk looks like this, standard big freebsd slice: ******* Working on device /dev/wd0 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=1027 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=1027 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 16498692 (8056 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254 The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: ******* Working on device /dev/wd1 ******* parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=3148 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1 parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=3148 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 3173121 (1549 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1; end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 15 The data for partition 2 is: The data for partition 3 is: The data for partition 4 is: I know I'm not making all that much sense at the moment, I'm going to get some sleep.
