Hi,
what am I doing wrong here:

vinum -> create /etc/vconfig
1: drive a device /dev/ad0s2d
** 1 : Invalid argument
0 drives:
1 volumes:
V rootvg State: down Plexes: 1 Size: 2479 MB

1 plexes:
P rootvg.p0 C State: faulty Subdisks: 1 Size: 2479 MB

1 subdisks:
S rootvg.p0.s0 State: crashed PO: 0 B Size: 2479 MB


My config looks like this:

drive a device /dev/ad0s2d
volume rootvg
plex org concat
sd length 2479m drive a


I really haven't got much clue.

Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hi,
I just found out that the disklabel should be of type vinum. This is not mentioned in the handbook.

I now have the following problem:

root@bsd2:~]$ newfs -U /dev/vinum/rootvg
newfs: /dev/vinum/rootvg: `g' partition is unavailable

I have changed the drive to be ad0s3f at 256MB.
My slice looks like this:

8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
c: 31455270 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 1957)
e: 262144 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 94 # (Cyl. 0 - 16*)
f: 1048576 262144 vinum # (Cyl. 16*- 81*)
g: 1048576 524288 vinum # (Cyl. 32*- 97*)
