Well, colleagues, I'm stuck a bit. I tried many different ways to setup system with vinum root (the only reference I found yet besides old "bootstrapping vinum" article is Joerg's commit message: http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/cvs-all_2003/msg01225.html I failed. I have 4-stable system set up at ad0, and tried to set up pair of drives for new system at ad2 and ad3 (actually, they will run as ad0 and ad2 on target system). What I did: - fdisk -BI ad2; fdisk -BI ad3 - disklabel -Brw auto ad2s1; disklabel -Brw auto ad3s1 - create ad[23]s1d for root, 128M+265s in size, type vinum - start vinum and create mroot mirror volume - dump'n'restored root partition there - tune new fstab and /boot/loader.conf according to Joerg's comments. Alas, all I have is BTX registers dump. I did also check that if I create ad2s1a instead of vinum partition, I can boot from that prepaired disk. BTW, Joerg did promised a bit of documentation for vinum roots, but I failed to find it... Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance.
