Subject:   Vinum stability in 3.2-R
Message-ID:  <v0420511db38e2f0594b5@[209.239.239.22]>

- during set-up the system crashed while in 'vinum' if I issued the 
'start' command (core dump, and auto restart). Issuing the 'start' 
command was prolly wrong, but methinks crashing the whole system is a 
bad way to tell me that. :-)

- a few times after configing disks and leaving 'vinum' with a 
'quit', the system would dump core.

- after finally getting the striped volume up, newfs'd, and mounted, 
the system crashed on me when doing a massive file transfer ('tar 
cvfp - dir | (cd /newdrive;tar xvfp -)). Unfortunately I'm offsite 
now, so I can't see what's on the console-- it did not auto restart 
this time through.

Are there some known issues with vinum and 3.2-R, or did I munge the 
config and vinum's really sensitive? Here's my config:

      bash-2.02# vinum
      vinum -> list

      Drives:         0 (4 configured)

      Subdisks:       0 (16 configured)
 
 
      vinum -> drive a device /dev/da0d
      vinum -> drive b device /dev/da1d

      vinum -> volume mystripe setupstate
      vinum -> quit
 
      bash-2.02# newfs -v /dev//vinum/mystripe
      ....[succeeded]
 
      bash-2.02# mount /dev/vinum/mystripe /newdrive

Thanks for any help,
jon
