Hi, I often get to above message while trying to configure vinum. Trying the examples from the manpage works, of course. Next try. What I want to do: First creating a non mirrored but striped volume and later add one mirror plex.
I do: # vinum start # vinum resetconfig ... # cat x drive d1 device /dev/da1d drive d2 device /dev/da2d volume raid plex org stripe 256k sd length 50m drive d1 sd length 50m drive d2 vinum create x ... (Please note the missing 'd' in stripe) I get: ..the panic.. Now with the missing 'd' `vinum create x` works as expected. vinum l shows: # vinum l Configuration summary Drives: 2 (4 configured) Volumes: 1 (4 configured) Plexes: 1 (8 configured) Subdisks: 2 (16 configured) D d1 State: up Device /dev/da1d Avail: 8664/8714 MB (99%) D d2 State: up Device /dev/da2d Avail: 8664/8714 MB (99%) V raid State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 100 MB P raid.p0 S State: up Subdisks: 2 Size: 100 MB S raid.p0.s0 State: up PO: 0 B Size: 50 MB S raid.p0.s1 State: up PO: 256 kB Size: 50 MB Now adding the second plex: # cat z plex org striped volume raid sd length 50m drive d2 sd length 50m drive d1 (please note the missing stripesize) # vinum create z I get: ..the panic.. Sigh. After correcting z the `vinum create z` works as expected. BTW: Any chance that the create commands will work interactive from within vinum? I suspect one will not have a r/w filesystem in worst case scenarios for creating vinum createfiles (And even if, `ed` is not my friend.)
