Well, not if you mean to mirror the existing partition with a new one. Vinum takes up about 128 kB of space at the beginning of the partition. > i mean...i have a 6gb disk with many (important) data. I bought another 6gb > disk (identical) and wat to mirror it.... can i do it without losing data?? One way you could do it is like this: 1. Create a new volume with one plex, on the second disk only. 2. Copy the existing data to the vinum volume. 3. Check that everything worked! 4. Remove the original data and create another plex in its place. 5. Attach the plex to your volume. 6. Start the plex. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
