This is so far off I really do not even know where to start. But I think you mean, /dev/vinum/mirror /mnt/mirror ufs rw 2 2 > This is on a 3.3-STABLE box, based on a cvsup and make world > done on 14th October. > > Am I missing something obvious?

Going back the 'newfs' reference, after you make up a vinum volume, you would, # newfs /dev/vinum/mirror And _not_ the partitions that make it up. -- Crist J.
