No, that's not what I meant. 'gvinum start' loads the kernel module which in turn searches for vinum-GEOMs and loads the configuration data. It doesn't change the state of any gvinum item. Try 'gvinum start <plex-name>' or within gvinum(8): gvinum> start <plexname> This (as far as I investigated :-) a) initializes a newly created RAID5-plex or b) recalculates parity informations on a degraded RAID5-plex with a new replaced subdisk. So, a 'gvinum start raid5.p0' initializes my RAID5-plex if newly created. You can monitor the initialization process with subsequent 'gvinum list' commands. If you degrade a RAID5-plex with 'camcontrol stop <diskname>' (in case of SCSI-Disks) and 'repair' it afterwards with 'camcontrol start <diskname>', the 'gvinum start raid5.p0' (my volume here is called 'raid5') command recalculates the parity and revives the subdisk which was on disk <diskname>. -- Ciao/BSD - Matthias Matthias Schuendehuette <msch [at] snafu.de>, Berlin (Germany) PGP-Key at <pgp.mit.edu> and <wwwkeys.de.pgp.net> ID: 0xDDFB0A5F _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
