Hello, I'm trying to get a virstor over gmirrored slices from different devices: free# gmirror list gmir1 Geom name: gmir1 State: COMPLETE Components: 2 Balance: split Slice: 4096 Flags: NOFAILSYNC GenID: 0 SyncID: 1 ID: 1104038309 Providers: 1. Name: mirror/gmir1 Mediasize: 237291069952 (221G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r0w0e0 Consumers: 1. Name: ad6s1 Mediasize: 237291070464 (221G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r1w1e1 State: ACTIVE Priority: 0 Flags: NONE GenID: 0 SyncID: 1 ID: 2917203718 2. Name: ad7s1 Mediasize: 237291070464 (221G) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r1w1e1 State: ACTIVE Priority: 1 Flags: NONE GenID: 0 SyncID: 1 ID: 756437562 I thought to create a gvirstor with gmir1 at start and to connect in next future more mirrored disks but: geom virstor seems to loose metadata at reboot even with -h. gvirstor label -v myvirstor /dev/ad4 /dev/ad6 Is geom virstor stable? disklabel -w /dev/virstor/myvirstor I would like to add over gvirstor also a gjournal: gjournal label -h /dev/virstor/myvirstora newfs -J /dev/virstor/myvirstora.journal mount /dev/virstor/myvirstora.journal /mnt Everything seems to work but for example cpdup of large partition (200Gb) on /mnt makes cpdup to hang in suspfs state after 40Gb. I'm using it on a FreeBSD 7.1-stable and I'll upgrade as soon at possible at 8-RC. Bye, \ferz PS: using it in remote seems a pain yet.
