I've got a (home) server that I was using vinum for instead of the hardware raid controllers we use at the shop. Unfortunately it died pretty hard, and I'm trying to recover data from the hard disk on the replacement system. Old Hard Disk: 4.10-rel with a vinum root New Hard Disk: 6.0-rel I've added geom_vinum_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf and now when I boot I can run "gvinum" and I see gvinum -> list 1 drive: D ibm1 State: up /dev/ad2s1e A: 58131/58131 MB (100%) 5 volumes: V space State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B V tmp State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B V var State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B V usr State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B V root State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B 5 plexes: P space.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B P tmp.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B P var.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B P usr.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B P root.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B 5 subdisks: S space.p0.s0 State: up D: ibm1 Size: 48 GB S tmp.p0.s0 State: up D: ibm1 Size: 256 MB S var.p0.s0 State: up D: ibm1 Size: 4096 MB S usr.p0.s0 State: up D: ibm1 Size: 4096 MB S root.p0.s0 State: up D: ibm1 Size: 256 MB What do I need to do to get the subdisks/plexs/volumes reattached or restarted? How can I get to this data? The vast majority of the commands listed in gvinum's help aren't working... gvinum -> attach tmp.p0.s0 tmp.p0 unknown command 'attach' gvinum -> start tmp gvinum: can't start: cannot start volume 'tmp'; errno: 6 gvinum -> start -w tmp gvinum: illegal option -- w There is no man page for gvinum, and no /dev/gvinum directory list various mailing list postings refer to. Where can I go from here? -- Jo Rhett senior geek SVcolo : Silicon Valley Colocation
