This has been in the init stage for 3 days. The vinum daemon is > running as I can see it listed in ps -ax. This is the init state, which means it needs initializing. To initialize, issue the 'init' command. The state will change from 'init' to 'initializing', and the list command shows the progress of the initialization. This writes zeroes to the drives in parallel; expect it to take an hour or two on drives of this size. Greg -- Thanks Greg, that did the trick. The initialization only took 19 minutes. The newfs took about 5 minutes, and it is now running perfectly. Thank you again. Bob -- Bob Collins Anything-inc.com
