I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on i386 with a stock kernel, and am trying to
build a 4 disk RAID5 array using vinum. The issue is that, once the system
is rebooted after initially creating the array, the subdisks come up as
stale.
1 volume:
V vol1 State: down Plexes: 1 Size: 585 GB
1 plex:
P vol1.p0 R5 State: down Subdisks: 4 Size: 585 GB
4 subdisks:
S vol1.p0.s0 State: stale D: drive01 Size: 195 GB
S vol1.p0.s1 State: stale D: drive02 Size: 195 GB
S vol1.p0.s2 State: stale D: drive03 Size: 195 GB
S vol1.p0.s3 State: stale D: drive04 Size: 195 GB
gvinum -> quit
Try to issue 'start' command against your volume:
gvinum start vol1
It seems that gvinum requires this action for newly-created volumes (luckily
only once). If so, this fact should be stressed in both gvinum(8) and
the Handbook. Also, the Handbook says that it covers the knowlege about
5.5 and 6.1 versions, so remnants of non-GEOM vinum(4) (which is defunct and
unavailable at least in 6.x) should be removed for the sake of clarity.
I'm not sure whether BUGS section in gvinum(8) should refer to the missing
functionality of defunct vinum(4).
Sincerely, Dmitry
