Had FreeBSD5.1 on a box that had a physical hard-drive failure last week.
So, this time setup the box using mirrored 200GB drives using vinum
sub-disks. Setup multiple vinum partitions to help limit any file system
corruption. One of those partitions was /dev/vinum/ports which points to
I went back to the original root install method as per the book, and I got
vinum working.
Now, needed to change the size of the var volume, since during install I
followed the book example and had var take up the rest of the disk, in my
case all 187Gigs of it :). Was under the impression that it
Using sysinstall, was going to install emacs and kde.
Install failed on installing imake. The error I got
Was Add of package imake-4.3.0 aborted, error code 1
- Please check the debug screen for more info.
, then got Loading of dependent package imake-4.3.0
failed.
Where is this debug screen
This is where I got the latest ISO:

Sorry, my bad - needed to do newfs. Once I did this the fsck worked
perfectly. Thanks again for all the help.

Question:
Is it important that the sequence plexes/sub-disks get created in for the
primary drive and the mirrored drive be the same? Any performance penalty?
I'm guessing that a different sub-disk creation order will put the sub-disks
in different places on a disk.
Background - if needed:
Have
It seems dumpconfig provides absolute settings of the subdisks. Might as
well use those offsets just in case it matters.

Using the unlimited number of sub-disk that can be created using vinum,
what's a good way to separate the directory file structure to help limit
file system corruption? Or, what's the happy medium between limiting fs
corruption and complexity?
Here's my guess of which part of directory structure
Is it possible to create vinum on a root drive without using the offsets in
the vinum configuration file?
What I trying to get to is that there seems to be two styles of getting
vinum setup on a root drive:
I. 1. setup unix partitions for swap, /, /usr, and /var
2. install

Read everything I can find on vinum: vinum website, freebsd documentation on
vinum, and Complete FreeBSD section on vinum. Still not sure which method
is correct for setting up a mirrored root drive for a FreeBSD 5.1 system.
The instructions I've found online regarding a vinum root drive,
which method is best to setup a mirrored
root drive for FreeBSD 5.1.
Thanks again,
Richard
