one question; Why does vinum not start at system startup ? At the bottom of my rc.conf file, I have added: start_vinum="YES"
When I reboot the system, all I see in dmesg is: vinum: no drives found I can start it manualy: server# vinum create config1 2 drives: D a State: up /dev/ad1s1c A: 39166/39266 MB (99%) D b State: up /dev/ad2s1c A: 229/329 MB (69%) 1 volumes: V reliable State: up Plexes: 2 Size: 100 MB 2 plexes: P reliable.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 1 Size: 100 MB P reliable.p1 C State: faulty Subdisks: 1 Size: 100 MB 2 subdisks: S reliable.p0.s0 State: up D: a Size: 100 MB S reliable.p1.s0 State: empty D: b Size: 100 MB server# vinum setstate up reliable.p1 server# vinum setstate up reliable.p1.s0 server# server# cat config1 # Vinum configuration of server.neoneye.home, saved at Sat Sep 6 19:37:02 2003 drive a device /dev/ad1s1c drive b device /dev/ad2s1c volume reliable plex name reliable.p0 org concat vol reliable plex name reliable.p1 org concat vol reliable sd name reliable.p0.s0 drive a plex reliable.p0 len 204800s driveoffset 265s plexoffset 0s sd name reliable.p1.s0 drive b plex reliable.p1 len 204800s driveoffset 265s plexoffset 0s server# The partition types is 'vinum' for both slices.
