hi list

i'm trying to set up a concatenated vinum volume. i read chapter 13 in the handbook and as so often i've found a nice how-to on freebsddiary.org but somehow i'm stuck.

my /etc/vinum.conf file is like this:
drive a device /dev/ar1h
drive b device /dev/ar2h
volume stuff
plex org concat
 sd length 117239m drive a
 sd length 78528m drive b


disklabels: # /dev/ar1c: type: ESDI disk: ar1s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 14945 sectors/unit: 240107427 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0

8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 240107427 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 14945*)
h: 240107427 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 14945*)


# /dev/ar2c:
type: ESDI
disk: ar2s1
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 10010
sectors/unit: 160826652
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # milliseconds
drivedata: 0

8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 160826652 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 10010*)
h: 160826652 0 vinum # (Cyl. 0 - 10010*)



fidsk also looks good:


/dev/ar1:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
   start 63, size 240107427 (117239 Meg), flag 80 (active)
       beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
       end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63

/dev/ar2:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
   start 63, size 160826652 (78528 Meg), flag 80 (active)
       beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
       end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63


now i seem to be missing something here.. when i do vinum create -f /etc/vinum.conf

what i get is:

  1: drive a device /dev/ar1h
** 1 Can't initialize drive a: Operation not supported by device
  2: drive b device /dev/ar2h
** 2 Can't initialize drive b: Operation not supported by device
0 drives:
1 volumes:
V stuff                 State: down     Plexes:       1 Size:        191 GB

1 plexes:
P stuff.p0            C State: faulty   Subdisks:     2 Size:        191 GB

2 subdisks:
S stuff.p0.s0           State: crashed  PO:        0  B Size:        114 GB
S stuff.p0.s1           State: crashed  PO:      114 GB Size:         76 GB

messages says:
/kernel: vinum: stuff.p0.s0 is crashed
/kernel: vinum: stuff.p0 is faulty
/kernel: vinum: stuff.p0.s1 is crashed


i have 'obliterated' the volume, i have remade the devices i allways end up with "Operation not supported by device".


something similar happens when i'm using the concat command to vinum:
vinum -> concat -v /dev/ar1h /dev/ar2h
volume vinum0
plex name vinum0.p0 org concat
drive vinumdrive0 device /dev/ar1h
Can't create drive vinumdrive0, device /dev/ar1h: Can't initialize drive vinumdrive0


i have come across this post: http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=6949487&list=159
could that be the case with /dev/ar, too? i'm on 4.8-stable.


any hints how to go on would be great. please cc me, as i'm not on the list.

thanks and br
jonas
