I have (8) maxtor 160gb drives I plan on constructing a vinum raid5
array with.
the devices are:
ad4....ad11
All drives have been fdisk'd and such,
ad4s1d.....ad11s1d
The first step of setting up vinum is changing the disklabel
disklabel -e /dev/ad4
The disk label says it has 8 partitions, but only the A and C
partitions are shown...
**********MY DISKLABEL********
# /dev/ad4:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 320173040 16 unused 0 0
c: 320173056 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
******************************
c: is not a valid disk label. You need to create one first. See the example below first: there's an "e" label. You can do this in sysinstall: Configure / Label / ad4 and then C to create one. Once that's done it'll show up in disklabel as you write below. Then in disklabel you can change the 4.2BSD to vinum.
You should also not use 'c' for Vinum.

Bit of confusion from my side: I meant C as the key that should be pressed to create a new slice not as a name for a disklabel
