I had a concat vinum volume up and running for several months, then
today I went and tried to create a raid10 volume, but I am getting
the following error when trying to do a vinum create:
vinum -> create vinum.conf
1: drive a device /dev/wd1s1
** 1 Drive a has invalid partition type: Inappropriate file type or format
2: drive b device /dev/wd3s1
** 2 Drive b has invalid partition type: Inappropriate file type or format
According to the manual, mailing list postings, etc, you're supposed to
have the partition type set to 'vinum', which I do: (or think I do)
------------------
/dev/wd1s1:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 25414767 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1581*)
e: 25414767 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 1581*)
-------------------
/dev/wd3s1:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 33750801 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 33482*)
e: 33750801 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 33482*)
--------------------
I know the second drive is bigger than the first one, but I'm just using
a volume that is big enough to fit on the first drive:
drive a device /dev/wd1s1
drive b device /dev/wd3s1
volume raid10_1
plex org striped 256k
sd length 6204m drive a
sd length 6204m drive b
plex org striped 256k
sd length 6204m drive b
sd length 6204m drive a
Suggestions, flames, etc welcome.
