Dear List, 1) I have been playing with fs(3). Unfortunately the clear command mentioned in the man page does not seem to exist.
cpu% echo clear > /dev/fs/ctl
echo: write error: unknown control message "clear"
whereas fs(3) says:
clear
Discard all fs device definitions.
One of each is wrong here ;)
2)
I wanted to use fs(3) to setup mirrored venti arenas, and indeces.
Now with fs I only get one device after a
echo mirror m0 /dev/sdC1/data /dev/sdD0/data > /dev/fs/ctl
I have read in earlier threads that it is possible to disk/part the
m0 device. How can I specify the partitions later on? Also This
seems to fail:
cpu% disk/prep -a^(isect arenas fscfg) /dev/fs/m0 > /dev/fs/ctl
no plan9 partition table found
fscfg 1
arenas 558164159
isect 27908208
' fscfg 0 1 (1 sectors, 512 B )
' arenas 1 558164160 (558164159 sectors, 266.15
GB)
' isect 558164160 586072368 (27908208 sectors, 13.30

Is this supposed to work? Doing it a second time disk/part tells me:
cpu% disk/prep -a^(isect arenas fscfg) /dev/fs/m0 > /dev/fs/ctl
partitions already exist; not repartitioning
>>> q
The '>/dev/fs/ctl' part comes from a mail from erik (Message-ID:
2cb5e9b012d84b84ab0216685114e141 () coraid ! com
)
Should I mirror each partition separately then?
Thanks for your precious time,
Christian
