Hi all! I have (8) maxtor 160gb drives I plan on constructing a vinum raid5 array with. the devices are: ad4....ad11 All drives have been fdisk'd and such, ad4s1d.....ad11s1d The first step of setting up vinum is changing the disklabel disklabel -e /dev/ad4 The disk label says it has 8 partitions, but only the A and C partitions are shown... **********MY DISKLABEL******** # /dev/ad4: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 320173040 16 unused 0 0 c: 320173056 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit ****************************** Now, i know i have to change *something* to "vinum" but i'm unsure which one, or if I need to actually add a line or ??? This is my first time playing with vinum, i've read a handful of howtos and all the documentation I find shows the disklabel looking like this: *****HOWTO's Disklabel******** # disklabel da0 [snip] # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1024000 1024000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 90 b: 1024000 0 swap c: 17912412 0 unused 0 0 e: 15864412 2048000 vinum ******************************** (source: http://org.netbase.org/vinum-mirrored.html) Any direction is appreciated :-) -matt
