Hi there, I've been running a 5 disk vinum array (sripted, no redundancy) for a few months now. It's composed of 5 scsi drives of 4G each. I bought a new 120G ide drive, with the intention of copying over all the files from the vinum array and retiring the array (the scsi drives are really loud).
All was fine until the file copy part. Shortly after starting, i started to get scsi errors and the scsi system reset the drives and re-spun them up in an attempt to provide data (this i could hear). Eventually vinum reported a read error. My machine kinda locked up because there were swap partitions on the scsi drives and things just went south when the OS couldn't swap properly. I rebooted and fsck'd my other partitions just fine but vinum reported that the plex was corrupt and one of the subdisks was stale (see "vinum list" output below). I also include the output from the command to read and parse the vium table on each drive ( as describe at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html ). it sure looks to me like all the disks have the same vinum info. When i tried to vinum start striped.p0.s1, most of the time i would get an error "Input/output error (5)" but a couple of times the command hung (as it is right now). Also, I reconfured my scsi (2940uw) to the lowest transfer speed, disabled wide negotation (these are wide fast drives), disabled disconnect and disabled synchronous transfers. Basicly, i slowed them down as slow as they can go. I am able to successfully read each drive (tested the first 1G of each using "dd if=/dev/da*s1e of=/dev/null bs=1m count=1000"). There were no write operations to the vinum volume when things crashed. I'm hoping i can get vinum up and running again so i can copy off this data. Question to the group. Would a vinum create using the original configuration (i have the file) recover this situation so i could mount and read the disk? Is there something else to do that will help?
