When I do a vinum start -w, I get an error saying it can't find any vinum drives. With the -w switch it is supposed to wait for the operation to complete. It doesn't so I am assuming that it isn't copying the data over from ad2 to ad3. My problem is I don't know where to go from here. How do I get the data from ad2 to ad3 once I have configured vinum (or have I?!?!). If I reboot my machine at this stage, I just get a whole lot of garbage on the screen and it justs hangs. At that stage I have been reinstalling FreeBSD4.1. Thanks again. Alistair.

I don't know. You should have got the same message again. You also haven't described anything that is obviously a problem. But you haven't really given me enough information to tell. Take a look at vinum(4) or http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html and give me the information I ask for there. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
