Is it a RAID 5 you were able to make work > under 5.4? > > jd > > hey yeah a 3x160 GB RAID5 and 2x80 GB RAID 1 in FreeBSD 5.4-p1 i get the same error message everytime i start vinum or whenever i execute a command in vinum and really loads of kernel panics whenever i try to get it to work after a crash i have an unorthodox way of recovering from this because it's nearly impossible to do stuff in vinum without causing kernel panics yesterday evrything was ruined again (after upgrading to p1) i wiped the complete config (rest config - NO FUTURE) read in the config file (create RAID5) set every state up manually (setstate up ...) and rebuild parity took about 10 hours to rebuild but then everything is back up and running i tried Gvinum too but that doesn't have the setstate nor the ruibld parity command and still you can't stop gvinum (gvinum stop doesn't work, nor does kldunload geom_vinum.ko) i have no way of changing to a different soft raid due to lack of space to backup so i'm stuck with this for as lo0ng as it takes :) so, one advice "don't do it" hehehe Arno
