I'm trying to create a mirrored volume of two plexes using vinum on FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. For creating the volume I used the following configfile: drive a device /dev/da0s2e drive b device /dev/da1s2e volume mirror1 plex org concat sd length 0b drive a plex org concat sd length 0b drive b This created the volume, but the plex on second volume was in 'faulty' state. As I understand from vinum documentation, this is supposed to happen because I need to 'vinum init' the subdisk in this plex first. I did that with command 'vinum init mirror1.p1' and the initialization process ran. The state of mirror1.p1.s0 is now 'initialized', instead of 'empty' which it was right after creating the objects. But the plex (mirror1.p1) is still in the 'faulty' state. When I try to start it with command 'vinum start mirror1.p1', I get the error message: 'Can't start mirror1.p1.s0:Drive is down (5)' Does this mean that the hard disk which this plex resides on is physically bad? It's kind of hard to believe, because the vinum init command ran without complaining, but you never know... Any insight is appreciated. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Coffee -- n., a person who is coughed upon.
