Then the machine comes up in single user mode. At this point if I unload and reload geom_stripe, then the volume is created just fine and I can boot the system in full production mode. Any ideas on why I'm seeing this behavior? How can I fix it so that my machine reboots without incident?


It looks like it's trying to add both disks again. I'd try to clean the metadata (gstripe clear from a fixit cdrom) and recreate it but I might be wrong.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, now I see that it *DOES* look like it's trying to add it twice. I haven't tried cleaning the metadata as you suggest because I don't want to lose data on the drive if I can avoid it. Would your suggestion wipe the drive?

Also, I wonder if the metadata is really bad? It works just fine if I kldunload and kldload the module. I ask because I would think that if the metadata were bad, I would get this error every time I created the stripe.

So where in the boot sequence is GEOM_STRIPE loaded? I'm starting to suspect it's being loaded twice. I have it in /boot/loader.conf which is where I thought it should be. Is there anywhere else to check?

Thanks,

Drew
