I'm working on setting up a mirrored root filesystem as explained in: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vinum-root.html

I've gotten it to boot then noticed something broken about it on my setup.

More info on my setup is at the bottom of this message.

If it boots to the vinum partition it does not properly load vinum.
How to explain that better..
booting normal as described in the handbook (loader.conf settings)
it appears to only read ad0s1h for data, thus never fully comes up.

I get among the various warnings (a slice is missing!)

vinum: incompatible sector sizes.  m-root.p1 has 0, m-root has 512.  Ignored.
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/vinum/m-root
vinum -> ld
D vinumdrive0           State: up       /dev/ad0s1h     A: 0/1023 MB (0%)
D vinumdrive1           State: referenced       unknown A: 0/0 MB
since it can't see vinumdrive1 the plex and subdisks are faulty.




However booting to the a slice without using vinum (removed from loader.conf) booted up on ad0s1a(or ad0s1h)(half of the mirror)

then doing vinum start after logging in I get:

vinum: reading configuration from /dev/ad2s1h
vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad0s1h
Aug 31 05:55:06  kernel: vinum: reading configuration from /dev/ad2s1h
Aug 31 05:55:06  kernel: vinum: updating configuration from /dev/ad0s1h

vinum -> ld
D vinumdrive1           State: up       /dev/ad2s1h     A: 0/1023 MB (0%)
D vinumdrive0           State: up       /dev/ad0s1h     A: 0/1023 MB (0%)



Is this a known issue? Is there something wrong with how I've set it up?
