I have a machine that I tried upgrading from 4-STABLE to 5-STABLE. In the process I lost one of the disks and had to replace it. The problem is, that gvinum "knows" about the disk, but I can't seem to either create the media volume (kernel panic) nor erase that entry from the vinum list (kernel panic). I also can't seem to get resetconfig to work--it doesn't seem to be defined in gvinum :(. All I need to do is clear media.p0.s3 out of this and I think I'll be able to recreate the volume I need (including grabbing the new disk): gvinum -> list 9 drives: D media1 State: up /dev/ad6s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) D media3 State: up /dev/ad8s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) D media9 State: up /dev/ad10s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) D media2 State: up /dev/ad12s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) D mediaa State: up /dev/ad14s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) D media5 State: up /dev/ad16s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) D media6 State: up /dev/ad18s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) D media8 State: up /dev/ad20s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) D media7 State: up /dev/ad22s1 A: 76316/76316 MB (100%) 1 volume: V media State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B 1 plex: P media.p0 R5 State: down Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B 1 subdisk: S media.p0.s3 State: up D: media4 Size: 74 GB Is there maybe a special place on each drive I could dd /dev/zero to clear out all of the vinum information? I tried clobbering the vinum slices on every drive and newfsing them as individual filesystems, but that didn't seem to do the trick.home | help
