I do not have the root or the system disks there, but I do (did) have the /HOME on the RAID. Now one disk has broken down and I'm trying to replace it. However there is some problem when I'm booting: "init: /bin/sh on /etc/rc terminated abnormally, going to single user mode" I'm not really sure what this single user mode is, but I can't write to the /tmp/ disk for some reason. Is this normal behaviour? During boot vinum reports the following: ### vinum: loaded vinum: reading configuration from /dev/ad1s1e vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad4s1e vinum: incompatible sector sizes. raid.p0.s2 has 0 bytes, raid.p0 has 512 bytes. Ignored. ### The broken disk is /dev/ad5 and it's not completely replaced yet. I do have a bad feeling that both ad5 AND ad4 is broken, but I certainly hope this isn't the case. I'm using RAID instead of a backup system. All help here is much appreciated, I have pictures from my sons first year on this RAID volume...
