 2 subdisks:

 S vinum0.p0.s1  State: up   D: partition1   Size:   1953 GB
 
 
  Now I've seen mentions of people using Vinum on larger partitions and it 
 seems to work ok. Also when I use gvinum it succeeds, however given the state

  Suggestions/comments anyone?
 

What version of FreeBSD are you using? also I seem to remember from my
readings somewhere that there is still a soft limit of 2TB depending
on what and how you do it and that vinum had this problem.

Vinum and Volumes Larger Than 2TB

2005-06-27 Thread Bri
 Howdy,

 I'm attempting to use Vinum to concat multiple plexes together to make a 
single 4.5TB volume. I've noticed that once I hit the 2TB mark it seems to 
fail, it looks like once it hits 2TB the size gets reset to 0. Example below,

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# vinum create /etc/vinum0.conf 
2 drives:
D partition0State: up   /dev/da0A: 0/0 MB
D partition1State: up   /dev/da1A: 0/0 MB

1 volumes:
V vinum0State: up   Plexes:   1 Size:   1858 GB

1 plexes:
P vinum0.p0   C State: up   Subdisks: 2 Size:   3906 GB

2 subdisks:
S vinum0.p0.s0  State: up   D: partition0   Size:   1953 GB
S vinum0.p0.s1  State: up   D: partition1   Size:   1953 GB


 Now I've seen mentions of people using Vinum on larger partitions and it seems 
to work ok. Also when I use gvinum it succeeds, however given the state of the 
gvinum implementation I'd like to stick with vinum.


 Suggestions/comments anyone?

 Thanks in advance,
