I've never heard of either of these utilities (bsdlabel/disklabel, nor fsck) having to be "in sync with the kernel". My opinion at this moment in time is that you're barking up the wrong tree. As I'm not familiar with the vinum infrastructure, GEOM-based or without, others will have to assist with that. However, I'm still not able to discern what your "type" of gvinum volume is -- is it a mirror, a stripe, or a raid5? Others who are more familiar with vinum are probably going to ask you to provide the full configuration details of your vinum setup, including all the commands you issued to create it. "gvinum printconfig" would be a great start. Furthermore, could you please provide the data I asked for with regards to your storage devices? In this case, /dev/ad5, /dev/ad6, and /dev/ad7 (assuming those are all which are on the system)? Let's try to rule out ANY underlying disk issues first, otherwise the rest of the above may be wasted effort. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
