Did you disklabel the slices to be of type vinum? I had a similar trouble due to the fact I had labeled the disks as BSD4.0 or some such. Once you have the disks labeled, you have to disklabel -d ad2 I think and change the label to `vinum' without the single quotes. Also, do you have a mount point /a and /b ? -- Bob _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
