Hi all!
I have (8) maxtor 160gb drives I plan on constructing a vinum raid5
array with.
the devices are:
ad4....ad11
All drives have been fdisk'd and such,
ad4s1d.....ad11s1d
The first step of setting up vinum is changing the disklabel
disklabel -e /dev/ad4
The disk label says it has 8 partitions, but only the A and C partitions
are shown...
**********MY DISKLABEL********
# /dev/ad4:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 320173040 16 unused 0 0
c: 320173056 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
******************************
Now, i know i have to change *something* to "vinum" but i'm unsure
which one, or if I need to actually add a line or ???
This is my first time playing with vinum, i've read a handful of howtos
and all the documentation I find shows the disklabel looking like this:
*****HOWTO's Disklabel********
# disklabel da0
[snip]
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 1024000 1024000 4.2BSD 2048 16384 90
b: 1024000 0 swap
c: 17912412 0 unused 0 0
e: 15864412 2048000 vinum

Any direction is appreciated :-)
