Okay, I finally got my drives installed and partitioned as follows:
ad0:
a: 7473152 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 465*)
b: 524288 7473152 swap # (Cyl. 465*- 497*)
c: 80035767 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4981*)
e: 72038327 7997440 vinum # (Cyl. 497*- 4981*)
ad1:
c: 80041248 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 635247)
e: 80041248 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 635247)
ad2:
c: 80041248 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 635247)
e: 80041248 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 635247)
4 gigs of ad0 are used for FBSD and swap. The rest of ad0 and all of ad1 & ad2
are intended for vinum. Since, as I understand it, vinum requires all the
subdisks to be the same size, I split the drives into 3908MB subdisks, 10 sd's
on ad1 & ad2, and 9 on ad0 for a total of 29 subdisks.
Here's my vinum cfg file:
drive a device /dev/ad0s1e
drive b device /dev/ad1s1e
drive c device /dev/ad2s1e
volume whopper
plex org raid5 512k
sd length 3908m drive a
sd length 3908m drive b
sd length 3908m drive c
[ all 3 lines repeated 8 times ]
sd length 3908m drive b
sd length 3908m drive c
Now I try to do a newfs:
# newfs -v /dev/vinum/whopper
newfs: /dev/vinum/whopper: Input/output error
# vinum l whopper
V whopper State: down Plexes: 1 Size: 106 GB
Why can't I newfs the volume?
