I have two identical harddrives and would like to mirror the complete system. I have a /, swap, /var and /usr partition on my disk. I have read some docs about vinum (freebsddiary and lemis) and i only have one problem with it. When you change your fstype to vinum your data will be erased. So my question is...how can i change my root partition to vinum without deleting everything? I have only done a minimum install so far, there is plenty of space free on my /usr part. Well, if anyone has the same configuration (mirrored drives) i would be grateful to see your config. Just in case that i encounter any problems later on. Thanks so far, Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
