I am copying files over the network -- from a failing drive in production box to a new drive in my workstation, with the intent of swapping these drives.
I have been testing transfers with tar, and ran into some problems when it (tar) hit the '/dev/vinum' hierarchy: tar: dev/vinum/plex/virtdisk_plex: minor number too large; not dumped tar: dev/vinum/sd/drive0: minor number too large; not dumped tar: dev/vinum/sd/drive1: minor number too large; not dumped tar: dev/vinum/vol/virtdisk.plex/virtdisk_plex: minor number too large; not dumped tar: dev/vinum/Control: minor number too large; not dumped tar: dev/vinum/control: minor number too large; not dumped tar: dev/vinum/controld: minor number too large; not dumped tar: dev/sa0.ctl: minor number too large; not dumped My question is this: When vinum starts up and can't find some of these device files, will it crash and burn, or will it simply create them?
