You're right, I'm sorry - I tend to become somewhat incoherent when I'm
frustrated with a problem I do not understand, time for me to take a deep
breath and attempt to think rationally again. I'm certaintly not helping
anyone help me at the moment.

I wrote /dev/wd0h,/dev/wd1e - I didn't leave out the /dev. I understand
that what I show won't work, what I do not understand is why.. I feel as
though the answer is right smack infront of me and I'm not seeing it.

/var/log/messages tells me:

Mar 24 12:24:08 epsilon /kernel: vinum: storage.p0.s0 is crashed
Mar 24 12:24:08 epsilon /kernel: vinum: storage.p0 is faulty
Mar 24 12:24:08 epsilon /kernel: vinum: storage.p0.s1 is crashed

That's it, nothing more - I even tried using the default syslog.conf just
in case my custom config was knocking out a message or three. That is all
I get period though. This you have already explained though.

My fdisk looks like this, standard big freebsd slice:

I know I'm not making all that much sense at the moment, I'm going to get
some sleep. Thanks for being tolerant with me. =)
