I've created a mirror'd volume using 2 hard disks. I yanked out one of the hds, and unsurprisingly the mirror kept on going. Now to replace the failed drive, I reconnected the drive, fdisk'd, disklable'd and change the fstype back to vinum. I added the drive in the vinum config, similar to the procedure here: http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html I tried to start my failed subdisk and it said the device was busy...I set the state to obsolete and it still said the device was busy when I tried to start the subdisk. Is there something I'm doingi wrong? Thanks, - Will Please CC me as I'm not on the list.
