Hello,
I am having a bit of trouble getting the conf file correct. I have listed
the devices and slice names but get the following error

vinum -> create -f vinum.conf
   1: drive d1 /dev/ad1s1e
** 1 Drive d1, invalid keyword: /dev/ad1s1e: Invalid argument
   2: drive d2 /dev/ad2s1e
** 2 Drive d2, invalid keyword: /dev/ad2s1e: Invalid argument
   3: drive d3 /dev/ad3s1e
** 3 Drive d3, invalid keyword: /dev/ad3s1e: Invalid argument
0 drives:
1 volumes:
V export                State: down     Plexes:       1 Size:        149 GB

1 plexes:
P export.p0          R5 State: faulty   Subdisks:     3 Size:        149 GB

3 subdisks:
S export.p0.s0          State: crashed  PO:        0  B Size:         74 GB
S export.p0.s1          State: crashed  PO:       32 kB Size:         74 GB
S export.p0.s2          State: crashed  PO:       64 kB Size:         74 GB

The offending conf file looks like this

drive d2 /dev/ad2s1e
drive d3 /dev/ad3s1e
volume export
plex org raid5 32k
sd length 76319MB drive d1
sd length 76319MB drive d2
sd length 76319MB drive d3

disklabel for the disks in question look like this

tamachi# disklabel -r ad1
# /dev/ad1c:
type: ESDI
disk: ad1s1
<snip>
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]

Can someone throw me a life ring here ? The fileserver has been down for a
day now due to hardware failures on the raid device and I am trying to use
Vinum to create a raid device with out much luck.

Also, If I decided to do away with a certain configuration I have been using
resetconfig , will this allow me to start from scratch again  ?

Appreciate any assistance someone can offer on this.

Thanks

LukeK
