People are willing to help you, but you need to follow a couple of simple etiquette rules... Writing in all caps is considered yelling. Write in all caps, people ignore you. Sending 'formatted' or 'html' emails is also a good way to get ignored... some people only read plain text. And doing what appears to be ignoring the advice given to you also make people not want to help. Several people have given you the best advice you can have - get "The Complete FreeBSD" if you don't already have it, and also visit http://www.vinumvm.org/ to learn more. Last I heard, and this may be completely wrong now, you had to install FreeBSD on a non-vinum'ed disk, and then use vinum on subsequent disks. If this is the case, then all you need to do is do your install, get your kernel done, and THEN worry about setting up vinum. After all, if your install gets screwed up, you'll want to know where to start trouble shooting it, no? Seen as how you've really not done anything other than ask the same question in different ways, please.... PLEASE step back and try approaching this again - AFTER you visit that web site. And remember... nobody here gets paid a dime. Everyone helps everyone else out of 'the goodness of their hearts', and only when they have time. Good luck, and I hope you get your questions answered... --John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
