I am using a=20 Sun Netra T1 105 with two 9GB SCSI drives. I want to mirror all=20 partitions (including the root) between the drives for redundancy. I'm=20 installing 5.2.1-RELEASE from a burned CD. I have gotten so far as to=20 have /usr and /var mirrored after a lot of hacking at it but couldn't=20 get the root partition mirrored. So I decided to start from scratch... The main problem I am having is that all of the documentation on Vinum explains how to install it with bsd labels instead of sun labels. The latest documentation I have tried following is which explains how to "install a conventional system then convert it to Vinum." When I create a partially overlaping "h" partition I get an error stating that the a partition overlaps with my "a" partition (the whole point, isn't it?) =20 and I have to edit the label again to fix it. Partition table before modifications: a: 530145 66 # / b: 1060290 0 # swap c: 17655435 0 # (whole disk) d: 530145 99 # /var e: 15534855 132 # /usr After modifications (reduced swap by 281 sectors at the beginning) and started h 16 sectors into the drive to skip the boot loader): a: 530145 66 b: 1060009 281 =20 c: 17655435 0 d: 530145 99 e: 15534855 132 h: 17655419 16 I would appreciate any pointers anyone has to offer in getting this working..
