I'm currently trying to use vinum to set up a thin client which will function as a mirroring fileserver. The idea is that the customer will enable the mirror using a web-interface. But, of course, I'm having problems. The main one is that for some reason vinum says that one of the two plexes is faulty. This seems to be regardless of what HDs I use.
Currently the two HDs are identical (23Gb IDE drives), but I have tried using different disks, different sizes. Using 'vinum create <configfile>' works, but as mentioned complains that one of the plexes is faulty. It is far worse using the 'vinum mirror /dev/ad2a /dev/ad3a', which causes a kernel panic and a reboot. Not fun. /var/log/messages shows the following lines: Jul 20 10:16:01 trabant /kernel: dscheck(#ad/16): b_bcount 8 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512) Jul 20 10:16:01 trabant /kernel: dscheck(#ad/24): b_bcount 8 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512) The config file I'm using looks as follows: drive drive_a device /dev/ad2a drive drive_b device /dev/ad3a volume mirror plex org concat sd length 0 drive drive_a plex org concat sd length 0 drive drive_b Changing the length makes no difference. I'd much appreciate any enlightenment on the issue.
