    not much, I already lost data when I have started
    doing things without asking the more experienced ones
    so Im a bit scared now :o

    > What errors do you see
    it is a stripeset of 2 drives and
    disklabel complains about the stuff on both drives like

    8 partitions:
    # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
      c: 156296322 63 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 9728*)
      d: 156296322 63 vinum # (Cyl. 0*- 9728*)
    Warning, partition c doesn\'t start at 0!
    Warning, partition c doesn\'t cover the whole unit!
    Warning, An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities

    but AFAIK editing disklabel is also cases dataloss

    of course when I would like to recreate the vinum config
    it says
    vinum stripe /dev/ad5s1d /dev/ad7s1d
    Can\'t create drive vinumdrive2, device /dev/ad5s1d: Incorrect drive name vinumdrive2 specified for drive vinumdrive0
