Greg, Thanks for all the responses. Unfortunatly I ran out of time and resorted to a restore of week old data. No big loss for me, but I really wanted to debug this to better understand what happened.
I think it went something like this: ide drive crashes. kernel panics (for this or some other reason). ufs gets screwed up on the drive because of the panic. I can't prove any of this since I urgently needed about 150gb of space. So I re-formatted. Like I said it is a shame since I wanted to understand what happened now, but, then again, I was looking for an excuse to change back from vinum to normal. vinum and ide on my system results is very poor disk performance, I see a 10-fold increase in read/write actions. I'll be interested in revisiting vinum with some SCSI disks sometime soon. Anyway, thanks once again both of you for the efforts. -D _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
