Ok,

Followed the page, did exactly the same in bsdlabel:

>  a:   245760      281    4.2BSD     2048 16384     0   # (Cyl.    0*- 15*)
>  c: 71771688        0    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 4467*)
>  h: 71771672       16     vinum                        # (Cyl.    0*- 4467*)

Did not yet edit fstab but only let vinum load the config..

Yet i get the message:

GEOM_VINUM: root.p0.s0 is stale

The vinum.conf looks like:

drive max1 device /dev/ad4s1h

volume root
  plex org concat
    sd len 245760s driveoffset 265s drive max1

Tried also offset 281s, no luck yet.

This is what is maybe important; When i remove the config, and do create /etc/vinum.conf I see:

> GEOM_VINUM: subdisk root.p0.s0 is down
> GEOM_VINUM: plex root.p0 is down
> GEOM_VINUM: subdisk root.p0.s0 is up
> GEOM_VINUM: plex root.p0 is up

What am I doing wrong over here?

Mark.
