I'm doing some testing in 6.0, and something strange is happening:
1) uname -a
FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov 3 09:36:13 UTC 2005
root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
2) I build a stripe set using 'gvinum create' and the following config:
drive dr3 device /dev/ad3s1
drive dr2 device /dev/ad2s1
drive dr1 device /dev/ad1s1
volume v0
plex name v0.p0 org striped 256s vol v0
sd name v0.p0.s2 drive dr3 len 613376s driveoffset 265s plex v0.p0 plexoffset
512s
sd name v0.p0.s1 drive dr2 len 613376s driveoffset 265s plex v0.p0 plexoffset
256s
sd name v0.p0.s0 drive dr1 len 613376s driveoffset 265s plex v0.p0 plexoffset
0s
3) After this is done, everything's okay, and 'gvinum l' looks like:
3 drives:
D dr1 State: up /dev/ad1s1 A: 0/299 MB (0%)
D dr2 State: up /dev/ad2s1 A: 0/299 MB (0%)
D dr3 State: up /dev/ad3s1 A: 0/299 MB (0%)
1 volume:
V v0 State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 898 MB
1 plex:
P v0.p0 S State: up Subdisks: 3 Size: 898 MB
3 subdisks:
S v0.p0.s0 State: up D: dr1 Size: 299 MB
S v0.p0.s1 State: up D: dr2 Size: 299 MB
S v0.p0.s2 State: up D: dr3 Size: 299 MB
4) gvinum saveconfig
5) Reboot
6) 'gvinum l' now looks like:
0 drives:
1 volume:
V v0 State: up Plexes: 0 Size: 0 B
1 plex:
P v0.p0 S State: up Subdisks: 0 Size: 0 B
3 subdisks:
S v0.p0.s0 State: up D: dr1 Size: 299 MB
S v0.p0.s1 State: up D: dr2 Size: 299 MB
S v0.p0.s2 State: up D: dr3 Size: 299 MB
Notice the lack of drives and the subsequent death of my plex and volume?
Also, everything is conveniently in the up state, but there is no /dev/gvinum
directory.
7) For kicks, add the following to /etc/rc.conf like I saw in an e-mail
somewhere:
geom_vinum_load="YES"
start_cmd="gvinum start"
8) Reboot
9) Things still look like 6) above.
Is this a bug or am I silly?
Caveat: This testing is being done in qemu, but the behavior matches a
physical system I have. I haven't tested other kinds of plexes yet, either.
