Hi, Cheers to Ludwig for the help its the newfs bit that was giving me a headache, mounted ok but on reboot put me single user as could not mount vinum drive I had to vinum create configfile and then mount it manually. This could be a problem with the name or location of my config file is there a certain name or place for these ? Another thing the disks were all on the same drive due to my testing vinum with my only free space until I know more about what I am doing then the plan gets grander ! Question: The concat form I thought does not do mirroring as it fills each subdisk in turn - is this correct ? If not then how to get it mirroring would that be by having more than one plex on the volume ? Do you use raid or raid-5, if so does it affect performance much ? What I really want to do sounds simular to your setup usr and var being mirrored and I want to have /home/data in a form whereby as and when it is needed I can add more subdisks or plexes whichever would be appropriate to extend the availiable space, rather than new disk, and copy accross. Thanks again and to all who aid me here. -- Tim. ==== I'd rather boot Bill Gates than Windows any day !
