This procedure gives you something called "dangerously dedicated" scheme and all the partitions are named in this case /dev/da0e /dev/da1e and so on. These are so-called compatibility slices, contrary to /dev/da0s1e /dev/da1s1e. Edit your disklabels so that da0e and da1e partitions have 8GB of space and have fstype of vinum, just edit the fstype field with disklabel -re da0(da1). Now you can try the following conf. file: drive d1 device /dev/da0e drive d2 device /dev/da1e volume cvs plex org concat sd length 0 drive d1 plex org concat sd length 0 drive d2 The "length 0" gives you automatically all the space vinum can allocate on the partition da0e(da1e), in this case 8GB each. That's what I have done, except I have EIDE disks. Hope I haven't made any mistakes. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
