I've noticed that once I hit the 2TB mark it seems to fail, it looks like once it hits 2TB the size gets reset to 0. Example below, root@shakezula:~# vinum create /etc/vinum0.conf 2 drives: D partition0 State: up /dev/da0 A: 0/0 MB D partition1 State: up /dev/da1 A: 0/0 MB 1 volumes: V vinum0 State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 1858 GB 1 plexes: P vinum0.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 2 Size: 3906 GB 2 subdisks: S vinum0.p0.s0 State: up D: partition0 Size: 1953 GB S vinum0.p0.s1 State: up D: partition1 Size: 1953 GB Now I've seen mentions of people using Vinum on larger partitions and it seems to work ok. Also when I use gvinum it succeeds, however given the state of the gvinum implementation I'd like to stick with vinum. Suggestions/comments anyone? Thanks in advance, -Bri
