That did the trick. Since my p0 was OK I ran (from the shell) vinum init -v -w mirrored.p1 This produced several minutes of disk activity and the curser waited until the command finished. vinum list showed the plex up but the subsidk still faulty, so I ran vinum start mirrored.p1.s0 The also produced several minutes of disk activity, but the process ran in the background after displaying "Reviving mirrored.p1.s0 in the background." From time to time I ran vinum list and where it used to display "faulty" it now read State: R 1% with the percentage increasing each time I ran the command. Eventually the background process reported that mirrored.p1.s0 is up. And it is. -- == Gary Dunn == Honolulu == Open Slate Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
