I finally found out what was wrong with my implementation. The mistake I had made was to assume that the partition being used by vinum was of a special type, hence I had not gone through newfs first to create a BSD filesystem. Re-visiting /stand/sysinstall to create : /dev/da0s1e from /dev/da0 /dev/da1s1e from /dev/da1 was the solution. This was the reason why the "disklable -e /dev/da0s1" would not write the partition as typ vinum. Once I had run newfs (which created da0s1e) I was able to change the type to "vinum" I'm fairly certain that the orginal problem was caused not starting with fresh partitions. 1. I now have a new problem for which I require some advice. The following output reports that Plex ex-mirror.p1 is faulty. The volume seems to be operating correctly but I think that the mirroring function is not happening. Is there a simple test I can do outside the vinum command set that will confirm this problem? 2. Assuming there is some kind of a failure in the mirroring, and that I have repaired the problem, how do I then get the information to re-mirror onto the newly attached disk? Thanks again, Tom root@garlic#vinum list -v 2 drives: Drive a: Device /dev/da0s1e Created on garlic.cgf.net at Sat Apr 15 20:13:10 2000 Config last updated Sun Apr 16 01:08:24 2000 Size: 4342915584 bytes (4141 MB) Used: 4341240320 bytes (4140 MB) Available: 1675264 bytes (1 MB) State: up Last error: none Active requests: 0 Maximum active: 5 Drive b: Device /dev/da1s1e Created on garlic.cgf.net at Sat Apr 15 20:13:10 2000 Config last updated Sun Apr 16 01:08:24 2000 Size: 4342915584 bytes (4141 MB) Used: 4341240320 bytes (4140 MB) Available: 1675264 bytes (1 MB) State: up Last error: none Active requests: 0 Maximum active: 0 1 volumes: Volume mirror: Size: 4341104640 bytes (4140 MB) State: up Flags: open 2 plexes Read policy: round robin 2 plexes: Plex mirror.p0: Size: 4341104640 bytes (4140 MB) Subdisks: 1 State: up Organization: concat Part of volume mirror Plex ex-mirror.p1: Size: 4341104640 bytes (4140 MB) Subdisks: 1 State: faulty Organization: concat Part of volume mirror 2 subdisks: Subdisk mirror.p0.s0: Size: 4341104640 bytes (4140 MB) State: up Plex mirror.p0 at offset 0 (0 B) Drive a (/dev/da0s1e) at offset 135680 (132 kB) Subdisk mirror.p1.s0: Size: 4341104640 bytes (4140 MB) State: empty Plex ex-mirror.p1 at offset 0 (0 B) Drive b (/dev/da1s1e) at offset 135680 (132 kB) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
