It looks from the above that you are loading the vinum kernel module, not the geom_vinum kernel module. To load the correct one, add the following to your /boot/loader.conf file: geom_vinum_load="YES" That's all you need. You should remove any extraneous cruft from /etc/rc.conf that might cause the vinum kernel module to be loaded, e.g., remove "start_vinum" if it's there. Also remove any non-geom_vinum Vinum entries from /boot/loader.conf. E.g., remove "vinum_load" and "vinum.autostart" if still present. Note that the Vinum configuration resides on the drives, so you shouldn't need an "/etc/vinum.conf" or similar to configure your Vinum volumes on subsequent reboots. You only need it initially to create the Vinum configuration. Geom_vinum will scan the drives during boot and activate any Vinum configuration it discovers.

AH, i found the error: the configfile was named gvinum.conf Thus vinum _did_ load but could nog find any disks. Now i renamed it to /etc/vinum.conf it starts up, reconizes all the plexes and disks and tells every part is up. The error is see is: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/gvinum/root set root by name failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Then it goes to manual root filesystem specification.

Take care! > -- > Kirk Strauser Right, can you or anyone tell me how to make gvinum load automatically? In /boot/loader.conf I set: vinum_load="YES" vinum.autostart="YES" This doest not work, even: gvinum_load="YES" gvinum.autostart="YES" When i boot in single user mode and i mount the gvinum volumes, everything is OK! Thus it really is the problem of the autoload and start of vinum.

(g_)vinum
Hello, First i want to quote something: >Vinum is being rewritten; the new one is called gvinum or geom_vinum. > > It handles swap, and it should be in 5.3. > > Greg Here Greg tells me that Vinum should be in 5.3 Yesterday after 5.3-RC1 came trough, i downloaded the ISO and installed 5.3-RC1. After that i set up vinum for mirorring (RAID1) After setting up i still get the error which should be fixed in 5.3: swapon /dev/vinum/swap: Operation not supported by device Do i have to wait for the 5.3-RELEASE for g_vinum? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
