# /etc/vinum.conf

sd name var.p0.s0 drive va length 256m
plex name var.p1 org concat

sd name var.p1.s0 drive vb length 256m
When I create it, using -f, I get:
vinum -> l
2 drives:
D va State: up /dev/ad0s1g A:
1791/2048 MB
(87%) <- note triple allocation

(49%)

2 plexes:

P var.p1 C State: faulty Subdisks: 1 Size: 256 MB
2 subdisks:

S var.p1.s0 State: empty D: vb Size: 256 MB
vinum does not like FBSD 5.4
or vice versa
it is not supported
you could manually 'setstate up var.p1.s0' and 'setstate up var.p1'
that should work
i tested it with a raid 1 mirror, removed the HD that came up ok and
checked if the mirror would still come up, which it did
i do definitely not recommend it though
while you aren't still useing the raid, go use something else than vinum
Doesn't seem like this is right. I also run into a problem when
trying to
do a resetconfig:
vinum -> resetconfig
WARNING! This command will completely wipe out your vinum
configuration.
All data will be lost. If you really want to do this, enter the text
NO FUTURE
Enter text -> NO FUTURE
Can't find vinum config: Inappropriate ioctl for device
you'll be getting this all the time if yu continue to use vinum in
FBSD 5.4
and the configuration is still there after I try to resetconfig.
When I
reboot and do I vinum start, I get an error that there are no
drives in
the vinum config.
do 'vinum read' but expect to have kernel panics...

dmesg availible on request. No securelevel in place, at -1. Thanks in
advance.
again, i'd stay away from vinum/gvinum in FBSD 5.x if i were you...
if you don't, come join me in the mental institute for stubbern vinum
users :)
