Hi All, Can anyone please help this newbie with setting up a RAID1 mirror, using vinum, on freebsd-stable? I've done this sort of thing before on Linux and OpenBSD (RaidFrame) but the vinum documentation is confusing me somewhat. I'm assuming that I can't create a root-raid configuration, so I'd be happy with this setup: /dev/ad0s1a /root 256M /dev/ad2s1a /altroot 256M /dev/ad0s1b swap 256M /dev/ad2s1b swap 256M ??? /home 3G ??? /home 3G ??? /tmp 1G ??? /tmp 1G ??? /usr 2G ??? /usr 2G ??? /var 3G ??? /var 3G The two drives are 10G IDE and I'll scale the mirrored parts to fit the available capacity. These figures are illustrative only. My questions are: 1) What is the vinum filesystem type number (for partitioning)? 2) Do I create a single vinum partition to hold all the mirrored components, or do I create separate ones for each? 3) I can install a minimal system into / and then configure the vinum stuff afterwards. How do I best configure this? Any, and all, help will be greatfully received.
