vinum volume manager
Hi All, I have used the following message as a template, I have exactly the same problem with vinum, and wonder if someone knows the solution to it. --- I've been trying to get a bootstrapped vinum volume up and running on a 5.4 release system (generic kernel, minimal install), based this How-to: http://devel.reinikainen.net/docs/how-to/Vinum/ But I've managed to run into a problem that no amount of Googling, reading the archive of this list, or reading the manual seems help me get by. Basically, I have Vinum configured fine and can successfully run: vinum create -f /etc/vinum.conf The Vinum volume is all fine and a vinum list shows no problems. I can also successfully do a fsck on each of the mounts. However, it appears that the vinum config isn't being saved, as rebooting the machine can't find the vinum root partition, and after manually booting to the pre-vinum root (ufs:ad0s1a) running vinum list shows no volume information. During the reboot, vinum appears to load ok, but it can't find the root (as shown by the last bit of the dmesg): vinum: loaded vinum: no drives found Mounting root from ufs:/dev/vinum/root setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 The relevant config files look like this: /etc/fstab /boot/loader.conf vinum_load=YES vinum.autostart=YES I know that David Kelly attempted to rectify the problem gvinum, however, does the problem still persists with vinum?

During the reboot, vinum appears to load ok, but it can't find the root (as shown by the last bit of the dmesg): I have the same problem on 4.10 with ide-disks (3ware controller), but without mounting root via vinum. Anyway, you might succeed if you tell vinum the names of the devices it should use in /boot/loader.conf, eg. with: vinum.drives=/dev/twed1 /dev/twed2 /dev/twed3 /dev/twed4 there is also a vinum command 'read' which will read the configuration from the drive(s) specified. Please note that if you do not specify all drives in one command, vinum will not find the other drives and complain about missing drives, marking the relevant volumes as degraded or worse. Hope this helps. Best regards, Holger Kipp ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Vinum volume manager
To all, i've got a server with two identical disks which I would like to set up as a one way mirror with Vinum volume manager. How do I go about configuring the entire disk making it bootable mirror of the first one? I managed to do it in Solstice on Solaris, but Vinum support is different. thanks -- tp PRIVACY CONFIDENTIALITY This e-mail is private and confidential.
