Re: Help setting up Vinum mirror
In some releases 'vinum_enable=yes' in /etc/conf caused a kernel panic at boot. Hence my question what OS... Arno Thanks for the replies everyone and sorry for the slow reply. I'm running 5.3 , and realised i had to run newfs and mount etc to get it going. I was getting confused thinking that it wouldn't add the mount to /etc/fstab , and if i put it in there myself. Apart from adding the vinum_enable etc, will i need to add the info to /etc/fstab referring to the name i gave it in vinum.. I'm starting to get it alot more after reading the man page a few times, and Greg Lehey's info in the Complete FreeBSD, and was happy to get it running. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Help setting up Vinum mirror
Hi, I have gone through the docs on this but am just missing a couple of points conceptually, and would be grateful for any help. Basically i have created two slices on two IDE drives and mounted them (through fdisk, label etc), and had that all up and running correctly. I then went into Vinum in interactive mode and (hopefully) created a mirror by typing mirror -d /dev/ad0s2d /dev/ad1s1d . It then gave me successful messages and gave the drive a name and said it's up. I'm just wondering after this point, can i just type quit and it's up and running? I noticed on reboot the directories that were my mount point for these partitions say they are not a directory now. Do i need to go on and mount the mirror? Or did i make a mistake mounting these partitions before creating the mirror. How do i utilize it after issuing the mirror command. Many thanks in advance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Which FBSD release do you use? basically (FBSD 5.3) for vinum you just have to type: vinum start after a reboot and it'll read the config from the disks and put the volume in /dev/vinum/ from there you can mount it manually or add a line to /etc/fstab Arno ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Vinum started automatically when 'vinum' was typed on the console to create the mirror. Once the mirror was created and shown as 'up', the volume was created in /dev/vinum. However there is something you need to add to /etc/rc.conf to have vinum start automatically upon booting and thus make your volume available for mounting. Seems it was 'vinum_enable = yes' or something like that. Search /etc/defaults/rc.conf for the exact line.
