Hi all, I am still struggling to set up a one way mirror on two 72GB disks on 5.4 intel platform, however, there seems to be a lot of confusion about what to use in the first place. this is vinum v gvinum. I have managed to get to the point where I can fsck all volumes, however when rebooting the box would not come back giving me this: vinum: loaded vinum: no drives found Mounting root from ufs:/dev/gvinum/root setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Tried to configure the same with gvinum replicating the vinum.conf, however, still nothing. You know, when you are creating the vinum volume in bsdlabel and offsetting it with 16 blocks giving it vinum format, do you change this for gvinum as well??? my config would not have it, I can save it? I also tried the geom_vinum_load="YES" in the /boot/loader.conf, however, should I have vinum.autostart="YES" there as well for the gvinum?? On another occasion I have edited /etc/rc.d/vinum changing the start_cmd to "gvinum start" - nothing happened??? Also in the vinum.conf file that I laboriously create each time I try, is the drive Master device /dev/da0s1h with the h which is the slice which I create in the bsdlabel or is it the device name /dev/da0s1a for the root volume?? Non of it worked for me. Help me out from here please. This is supposed to be a production server and I have spent two days on it already.
