I resent that..... I read the documentation front to back.....thats the problem....the documentation is hard to follow and doesnt provide the steps that are needed. I read all your emails, followed what you said (without any snide comments about your lack of communication skills) and this is where I am. All I did was ask for your help with this functional/non-functional software. -----Original Message----- From: Greg Lehey [mailto:grog@lemis.com] Sent: Monday, September 20, 1999 7:56 PM To: river Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: VINUM (MORE) On Monday, 20 September 1999 at 6:52:12 -0500, river wrote: > I had already tried to init the mirror: I don't think there's any point in continuing with this.
