Hi All, I've been trying to get a bootstrapped vinum volume up and running on a 5.4 release system (generic kernel, minimal install), based this How-to: http://devel.reinikainen.net/docs/how-to/Vinum/ But I've managed to run into a problem that no amount of Googling, reading the archive of this list, or reading the manual seems help me get by. Basically, I have Vinum configured fine and can successfully run: vinum > create -f /etc/vinum.conf The Vinum volume is all fine and a vinum > list shows no problems. I can also successfully do a fsck on each of the mounts, which are: / /home /tmp /var However, it appears that the vinum config isn't being saved, as rebooting the machine can't find the vinum root partition, and after manually booting to the pre-vinum root (ufs:ad0s1a) running vinum > list shows no volume information. During the reboot, vinum appears to load ok, but it can't find the root (as shown by the last bit of the dmesg): vinum: loaded vinum: no drives found Mounting root from ufs:/dev/vinum/root setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 The relevant config files look like this: /etc/fstab #Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/vinum/swap none swap sw 0 0 /dev/vinum/root / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/vinum/home /home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/vinum/tmp /tmp ufs rw 2 2 /dev/vinum/var /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /boot/loader.conf vinum_load="YES" vinum.autostart="YES" Any suggestions as to how to sort this would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Ben Craig.
