Thanks for your answer, I did read the man-pages, and I also read the part on how to provide a complete error report, but because of the fact that I was new to vinum and that I maid a quite straight forward installation I thought I was running in to a somewhat standard newbie-gotcha. Everything works now, I did make a misstake, I added the c-drives to my raid-5 instead of as I do now, an e-drive. I don't think I made any other changes (having the same vinum.conf) as from the beginning. Thanks for your reply, and I shall try to be better on my error-reports, sorry for taking up your time. ------------------- > On Thursday, 15 May 2003 at 9:18:59 +0200, Joachim Dagerot wrote: > > I have managed to create my volume, my plex (raid-5) and my disks. > > I have managed to initialize all the subdisks and the disks.
