It should be in the man pages > for both, but unfortunately that part isn't done yet :-( A great read, but indeed unfortunate that this isn't yet described in the -STABLE case. Hopefully it will be in the near future, your time allowing. As an aside, can you tell me how I can fake a faulty drive in a RAID-5 configuration? I'm trying to simulate a disk crash, so as to determine the correct procedure for reviving a disk if that happens, but my first attempt to do so went wrong. I tried to simulate a disk crash by dd'ing /dev/zero over the entire disk (because I also wanted to test the whole disk), but then vinum wouldn't let me issue the 'rebuildparity' command. I suspect because the slice and disklabel information was also gone.
