Hi, I have gone through the docs on this but am just missing a
couple of points
conceptually, and would be grateful for any help.
Basically i have created two slices on two IDE drives and mounted
them
(through fdisk, label etc), and had that all up and running
correctly.
I then went into Vinum in interactive mode and (hopefully) created a
mirror by typing
mirror -d /dev/ad0s2d /dev/ad1s1d . It then gave me successful
messages and gave the drive a name and said it's "up".
I'm just wondering after this point, can i just type quit and
it's up
and running? I noticed on reboot the directories that were my mount
point for these partitions say they are "not a directory" now. Do i
need to go on and mount the mirror? Or did i make a mistake mounting
these partitions before creating the mirror. How do i utilize it
after
issuing the mirror command.
Many thanks in advance.
Which FBSD release do you use?
basically (FBSD < 5.3)
for vinum you just have to type:
vinum start
after a reboot and it'll read the config from the disks and put
the volume in /dev/vinum/
from there you can mount it manually or add a line to /etc/fstab
Neither of this is probably necessary. Vinum started automatically
when 'vinum' was typed on the console to create the mirror. Once
the mirror was created and shown as 'up', the volume was created
in /dev/vinum. However there is something you need to add to /etc/
rc.conf to have vinum start automatically upon booting and thus
make your volume available for mounting. Seems it was
'vinum_enable = "yes"' or something like that. Search /etc/
defaults/rc.conf for the exact line.
HTH,
Drew

In some releases 'vinum_enable=yes' in /etc/conf caused a kernel
panic at boot.
Hence my question what OS...
