Hello,
I am quite experienced in Linux (Slackware) but brand new to FreeBSD and I
have a few questions.
In Linux, scsi devices had IDs like sda, sdb, etc and partitions had names
like sda1, sda2 etc.
In FreeBSD I find myself with many more options and devices, I assume that
da0 is my first scsi drive and if da0s1 would be a partition on then what
are da0h, da0g, etc... or a more important question is where can I rad up
on it??!
The reason for all this is because I am trying to install vinum, I have two
9 gig scsi drives and I would like have them mirror each other.
If fstab shows these partitions mounted as da0s1a, da0s1b, etc then what
would be a proper config file for vinum? I did not find that vinum manual
all that easy to read through.
I know it has to look something like
drive c device /dev/da0h
drive d device /dev/da1h
volume stripe
plex org striped 512k
sd length 4096m drive a
sd length 4096m drive b
sd length 4096m drive c
sd length 4096m drive d
or something like that...
Thanks for any light you might be able to shed on this matter
