Unfortunately I can't get you the panic or coredump info because this machine doesn't belong to me and is at a customer's site right now.

Unless you 'vinum create' and then change the type to vinum *after* an unsuccessful attempt then vinum tries to "add to" the previous configuration which is almost always guaranteed to fail. > Sounds reasonable.

If I still had the machine in my possession and it wasn't seeing production use right now I'd be happy to give you more information than you could possibly want. > Well, you can remove all objects. That's the preferred way. People > abuse resetconfig so often that I'm thinking of removing it. 'vinum resetconfig' removes all objects? It didn't remove the configuration information from previous failed attempts at least for me. If you decide to remove this functionality please explain the proper way to "remove all objects" because every way I've tried documented or adhoc didn't work. > That has to be bogus.

This machine is working happily now and it is "live" at a customer's site but I'll do what I can to get you whatever information you need. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
