I've configured Vinum with the following configuration : drive d1 device /dev/ad0s1e drive d1 device /dev/ad2s1f volume mirror setupstate plex org concat sd length 32g drive d1 plex org concat sd length 32g drive d2 This is working fine I have a 32 gb partition mounted on /data I think this should be writing the data on both partitions, right ? The problem is that when i take off the secondary disk to ensure that on a disk failing it will keep on working, it dies with a kernel panic after booting (right after the login screen). can anyone tell me what im doing wrong ? Thanks a lot in advance Dario Goldfarb.
