I have a FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE system with two identical 80GB IDE drives. Vinum knows /dev/ad0 as "alpha" and "beta" is /dev/ad3. The boxes root slice is a Vinum volume and everything on alpha runs flawlessly. However for the past week I've tried to mirror alpha onto beta without success. Whether adding plexes, or just creating a simple 512MB volume on drive beta, Vinum will state beta as "referenced" and, in the case below, plexes as faulty after rebooting. What I'm having difficulty figuring out is why Vinum has a problem, as none of the logs say why.
