Web pages...and I did read the disclaimer before diving in, but at: http://www.lemis.com/vinum/The-big-picture.html It explicitly states that vinum enforces a minimum of 3 subdisks for a RAID-5 plex...what I want to do is mirror da0s1a->da1s1a, da0s1?->da0s1?, etc...which, to my understanding, isn't even RAID-5, but RAID-1... Basically, I want to mirror my system disk to a second drive on the same size/make, so that if one dies, my whole system doesn't go poof... Then gain, I just checked 'man 4 vinum', and it also states it requires a minimum of 3... Please note that my use of RAID=1 is from the Solaris/DiskSuite environment...I'm new to it with FreeBSD/Vinum :( Marc G.
