use gvinum to make the array: # gvinum create configfile
Did that before the latest reboot.
now when you load gvinum it should work.
How exactly do I "load gvinum"? If I go into gvinum and "create", it gives me a config file thing - but slightly different -- and when I exit it prints: 2 drives: D b State: up /dev/ad2s1a A: 194480/194480 MB (100%) D a State: up /dev/ad4s1a A: 194474/194474 MB (100%) 5 volumes: V ports State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B V www State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B V video State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B V subversion State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B V home State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B 5 plexes: P ports.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B P www.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B P video.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B P subversion.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B P home.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B 5 subdisks: S ports.p0.s0 State: up D: a Size: 10 GB S www.p0.s0 State: up D: a Size: 12 GB S video.p0.s0 State: up D: b Size: 189 GB S subversion.p0.s0 State: up D: a Size: 1024 MB S home.p0.s0 State: up D: a Size: 40 MB See how all the plexes and volumes are size 0?
you can now treat /dev/gvinum/array
# ls -la /dev/gvinum ls: /dev/gvinum: No such file or directory It was there last time... what happened? -- Every once in a while you run out of ideas; just keep going.
