hi there,
there are some problems i am facing trying the FreeBSD
volume manager VINUM(8).i am using FreeBSD 4.5. I have
2 extra ESDI disks of 2.1GBs on which i am trying to
make a logical volume.As the reference, i am looking
at the official site of Vinum www.vinumvm.org.there
are some examples given as how to setup vinum.i am
trying to follow those examples as closely as
possible.i am giving you the details of my
configuration files as below.

CONFIGURATION FILE 1 :
==================================================
drive a device /dev/ad1s1e
volume myvol
	plex org concat
		sd length 512m drive a

=============END OF CONFIG. FILE 1 ===============

CONFIGURATION FILE 2 :
==================================================
drive b device /dev/ad3s1e
volume mirror
	plex org concat
		sd length 512m drive a
	plex org concat
		sd length 512m drive b
=============END OF CONFIG. FILE 2 ===============

now the problem is that ,as soon as the devices are
made by vinum, i am getting one PLEX as faulty.though
i am able to make a newfs on the volume made,but the
mirroring is not happening.i am giving the output of
dumpconfig also,that might help looking at the problem
more closely.
