Hi all, last weekend i tried to get vinum working for me. Everytime I tried a 'create' it crashes. Maybe someone can help me. My hardware is a 486 DX, Adaptec 1542B, 3 SCSI-Disks (2x1GB(da0, da1) = and 1x2GB(da2)). The software is FBSD 3.1 RELEASE, residing on da0. I = started with reading the manpages and the vinum article from greg lehey at www.lemis.com. Now i decided to build a concat volume because greg = wrote that this could be expanded later. Just for testing purposes i tried to build a one slice volume, just as written in the article on page 9. = greg uses the partition(?) /dev/da3h and so i run into the first problem. = whether /stand/sysinstall nor disklabel as described in the handbook lets me = make this. everytime i get something like da1s1e. i gave up on this and = choosed to start over. here's a transcript of what i've done dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/rda1 bs=3D1k count=3D1 # worked, dd tells = about 1024 bytes in and out /stand/sysinstall select post-installation select fdisk, da1 all space in one partition=20 dedicated disk question ->NO # I've answered NO to get a dedicated disk, no other OS is on the machine q # get out of here select disklabel all space in one slice toggle newfs # don't newfs the slice w # writes partition and slice to disk error-message that it can't mount # the handbook says ignore lot of escapes # get out of here at this time i have a slice named da1s1e. if i newfs it, i can mount it = (i tried this later to be sure, that it isn't a disk failure). as the next = step i wrote a config file (vino.conf): drive sl1 device /dev/wd1s1e volume adder plex org concat sd length 512m drive sl1 #the first time i tried = 1024m, later other other values=B4, all failures after saving the file, i've done=20 kldload vinum klstat (yes, it's there!) vinum vinum->create vino.conf CRASH-BOOM-BANG=20 vinum told me that the drive is faulty, crashed and other things i just don't remember. the next thing i did was resetconfig. after one or to minutes (i had to press return several times), it told me that the configuration is obliterated. and so i started over and over with other partition sizes, other parameters, disklabel from the command line = (didn't work for me). Some hours later i decided to ask someone who has some knowledge about these things.=20 Is there someone???
