Just a follow up on my recent vinum disk replacement question... I have a two disk mirror and one of the disks died; I'd asked if I could use dd to copy the good disk to a replacement disk and was being persistent about whether that would work or not. %-) I didn't do that (dd).
Instead I followed Greg Lehey's advice and the instructions here: http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html and it all went fine. There's a note on that page about a "a bug [that] will cause the state to be incorrect", but I didn't run into it. My steps were: - install the new disk - fdisk it with /stand/sysinstall - edit the partition table with disklabel to match the partitions on the good disk - create a config file -- vinum.newdisk: drive vinumdisk2 device /dev/ad2s1d - run 'vinum create vinum.newdisk' - then 'vinum start data.p1.s0' # etc... Worked great. - Rob _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
