Ean, Thank you, that got me further, I appears to have created a new /dev/gvinum/test, which seems to the right size, but when I mount it as /test, I get not a directory when I try and ls it. The mount point needs to exist prior to mounting a filesystem so, try something like this (as root): mkdir /test mount /dev/gvinum/test /test mount | grep test That last one should produce the following output, /dev/gvinum/test on /test (ufs, local, soft-updates) which indicates that you have a mounted filesystem on /test. I have tried to find documentation on geom, but that seems to be related to mirroring. Ya, documentation is still being worked on. For basic stuff (like creating concatinated volumes) you can use the vinum documentation and replace 'vinum' with 'gvinum' when you try things. Using your 'test' filesystem is a very good idea. Some aspects of vinum still aren't fully implemented in gvinum. Remember, if you just created your /test volume. It should be empty. You did run 'newfs /dev/gvinum/test' after creating it and before mouting it, right? -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean_AT_hedron_DOT_org PGP KeyID: 1024D/CBC5D6BB URL: http://www.hedron.org/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When I am in the process of extracting a multivolume archive (rar) it goes on for a while, then stops, then continues and then all of the sudden the computer reboots. The volume which I try to extract files on is a Vinum volume containing 2 Western Digital 36gb SATA raptor disks (striped) connected via a Tekram TR822 SATA-controller. Upon reboot it complains about / not being properly unmounted, and fsck says something about SUPERBLK, or similar. fsck is trying to tell you something. If you don't pay attention, it doesn't help much. Can this just be a h/w problem due to overheating? No idea. Do you get a panic, or just a spontaneous reboot?
