gvinum resetconfig

[sh...@gvmail.vine.co.za]

Hi All,

I'm looking for some help with geom_vinum (gvinum) and the resetconf
command. I've moved some disk around but they still keep the old gvinum
configuration. i've tried resetconfig aka vinum but it just returns to
the prompt ;(

Can I dd the disk to wipe out the geom_vinum config information. I've
seup geom_vinum similar to the Robert A. Van Valzah article, except
I'm running 5.2-CURRENT as of yesterday. I have had /dev/gvinum/root;
/dev/gvinum/swap and /dev/gvinum/usr up and running.

I've also tried using vinum to resetconfig and create to try and
clear... not luck...

Thanks.

Shaun Courtney

Is it is possible to remove individual device definitions (EX: drive a
device /dev/adx)? I was playing around with
a bunch of vnode disks which I've since gotten rid of, but the drive
defs are still saved in the config of my real disks.

Thanks, Mike
