If your plex is faulty (say, mirror.p1), just say # vinum start mirror.p1 This will put the plex in the state 'reviving' and cause the data to be copied to the plex, after which it will be up. Replacing a drive is more complicated, mainly because I've never really done that. It works fine if your drive goes away and comes back; then you just start the failed components. The real issue is to relabel the drive. I'll look at that and get it fixed. If you want to help test, that would be of assistance.
