Does that mean that you're mixing bsdlabels and vinum? This could certainly lead to problems. Furthermore I haven't tested root-on-vinum yet. > (BTW, gvinum failed to parse the above config file correctly. I got > complaints about "setupstate" from what I rememeber. Vinum accepts it > without complaint.) That's because I haven't implemented the 'setupstate' keyword. In my opinion any RAID that needs to be initialized should be initialized. We could argue about that, of course. :-) > (Note that the "driveoffset" values for the subdisks matches those > given in the configuration file.) I'll try to replay that, but it could take some time to setup a root-on-vinum configuration here. > Needless to say, those testing out gvinum on existing Vinum > configurations should exercise due caution due to the real possibility > of corruption (as Lukas warned in his initial announcement). That's what I said, yes. cheers, le -- Lukas Ertl http://homepage.univie.ac.at/l.ertl/ le@FreeBSD.org http://people.freebsd.org/~le/
