Hi, I played arround with vinum and mirrored to drives. But without mirroring the root-partition you're not very safe if one drive fails (especially the first [boot] drive). So I tried to mirror at least etc to keep the system up running. Without mirroring etc I could switch off my first drive and the system went on running but when I tried to logon it failed cause the passwd files were no longer present. The problem on mirroring etc is that you need to know which files the systems needs before vinum gets started. My configuration works fine meanwhile but I don't know if I copied to much files or if I'm missing some important files. Here is my list of files which are available before vinum starts: /etc/defaults/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc /etc/fstab /etc/gettytab /etc/ttys Do I need any other files or can I put some files (like /etc/ttys) away?
