This looks like 200 GB to me, for small values of 200. > I'm hoping I've gotten the config right.

I've never seen this before. What version of FreeBSD are you using? Try: ktrace -i newfs /dev/vinum/data This will create a file ktrace.out. Look at it with: kdump | less Look for the message in the output (it'll be there) and show the ioctl call immediately before (if it's there). Also check if there's any message in dmesg output or /var/log/messages. Otherwise I have alternative tricks up my sleeve. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
