Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have not been able to find any comprehensive setup/configuration/recovery procedures for vinum, which is my reason for posting the questions here. I have two 30 gig drives which I would like to mirror. My ideal setup would be this: 512 meg swap partition and the rest of the drive mounted as / The second drive being an exact replica of this first drive. If drive one crashes, I should be able to simply plug the second drive in as the master drive and boot my system as if nothing happened. Is this how vinum works? Does it work with boot partitions or does it require a boot partition to be non-vinum? What are your recommendations? Thanks!
