In the last episode (Dec 14), Joachim Dagerot said:
 I have seven disks in my cabinett, three of them builds a vinum
 RAID-5 plex.
 
 One of the disks in the RAID is down according to vinum list.
 
 I could use some honts on how to determine which physical disk is
 named what in my system, is there a good path to follow by disconnect
 one, write down whats left and then re-connect it and connect another
 one?

Vunum ld will list the disks and their status.  If you're not sure
which physical disk is da1, you'll probably have to look at the
jumper settings on each drive.  Another option is to run something like
camcontrol stop da1; camcontrol start da1 or dd if=/dev/da1
of=/dev/null, and see which disk's activity LED lights up.

http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html has some instructions
on swapping out a failed drive.

If you can see the serial numbers on the drives how about...

bilko# camcontrol devlist
SEAGATE ST318406LC 010A  at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0)
SEAGATE ST318406LC 010A  at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (pass1,da1)
SEAGATE ST318406LC 010A  at scbus0 target 2 lun 0 (pass2,da2)

then...

bilko# camcontrol inquiry 0:0:0
pass0: SEAGATE ST318406LC 010A Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device 
pass0: Serial Number 3FE294G67342CTJN
pass0: 160.000MB/s transfers (80.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
