I have ad0s1a which is "/" and ad2s1a which is mounted on /rootback, it's an exact copy of the "/" filesystem. I wanted to try one of the failure scenarios from the howto (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/vinum/failures.html) so I shutdown the machine, unplugged the ad0 drive. The machine found the boot loader on ad2 and I have a prompt.. so far so good.. I do "boot -as" so that I can manually tell the kernel which root filesystem to mount. here is what I get: ad2: 95396MB [193821/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA66 Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices Abort manual input mountroot> ufs:/dev/ad2s1a Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a <---- NOTE this Root mount failed: 6 panic: Root mount failed, startup aborted. Why is it still trying to use ad0s1a as the root when I explicitly told it to use /dev/ad2s1a? Any ideas? thanks in advance. -m -- m. heckmann. -- merconic GmbH, Chausseestr. 128-129, D-10115 Berlin (Mitte) Telefon +49-30-726265-200, Fax +49-30-726265-211, Durchwahl -200 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
