X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 11:51:02 -0000 Greg, Thanks for all the responses. Unfortunatly I ran out of time and resorted to a restore of week old data. No big loss for me, but I really wanted to debug this to better understand what happened. I think it went something like this: ide drive crashes. kernel panics (for this or some other reason). ufs gets screwed up on the drive because of the panic. I can't prove any of this since I urgently needed about 150gb of space. So I re-formatted. Like I said it is a shame since I wanted to understand what happened now, but, then again, I was looking for an excuse to change back from vinum to normal. vinum and ide on my system results is very poor disk performance, I see a 10-fold increase in read/write actions. I'll be interested in revisiting vinum with some SCSI disks sometime soon. Anyway, thanks once again both of you for the efforts. -D
