Upgrade to RELENG_6 went pretty smoothly from RELENG_5 but for my striped gvinum volume. Mergemaster wanted to remove /etc/rc.d/vinum, so I copied it and allowed the original to be removed. On reboot /dev/gvinum/vinum0 does not exist. In 5.x "gvinum start" created /dev/gvinum/vimum0. Manually starting gvinum fails to do anything to /dev/. Observed /bin/vinum was left over from previous FreeBSD and complained about lacking a vinum kernel module so I have removed it. I have geom_vinum loaded: # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 17 0xc0400000 429f00 kernel 2 1 0xc082a000 57c8 snd_ich.ko 3 2 0xc0830000 1d408 sound.ko 4 1 0xc084e000 10840 if_ath.ko 5 2 0xc085f000 26b60 ath_hal.ko 6 2 0xc0886000 2c7c ath_rate.ko 7 1 0xc0889000 59170 acpi.ko 8 1 0xc38d1000 f000 geom_vinum.ko 9 1 0xc3a8e000 2000 green_saver.ko 10 1 0xc3a9c000 15000 linux.ko # gvinum list 0 drives: 1 volume: V vinum0 State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B 1 plex: P vinum0.p0 S State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B 2 subdisks: S vinum0.p0.s0 State: up D: vinumdrive0 Size: 152 GB S vinum0.p0.s1 State: up D: vinumdrive1 Size: 152 GB # The above "gvinum list" looks correct to my ignorant eye altho shouldn't it say something about /dev/ad[46]* where the stripes are located? It must know something about them as AFAIK the data is stored no where else. So, how do I go about getting a [g]vinum device in /dev? And how does one automate this on boot nowadays? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
