Hi,
Thanks to Michael Schneider for his quick response. Creating soft
partitions on top of a mirror meta device is possible using disk suite.
For example :
<metastat>
d5: Mirror
Submirror 0: d15
State: Okay
Submirror 1: d25
State: Okay
Pass: 1
Read option: roundrobin (default)
Write option: parallel (default)
Size: 6349824 blocks (50.0 GB)
d15: Submirror of d5
State: Okay
Size: 6349824 blocks (50.0 GB)
Stripe 0:
Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare
c1t0d0s5 0 No Okay Yes
d25: Submirror of d5
State: Okay
Size: 6349824 blocks (50.0 GB)
Stripe 0:
Device Start Block Dbase State Reloc Hot Spare
c1t1d0s5 0 No Okay Yes
</metastat>
# metainit d19 -p d5 10gb
# metainit d29 -p d5 10gb
# metainit d39 -p d5 10gb
# metainit d49 -p d5 10gb
# metainit d59 -p d5 10gb
Thanks,
Alex.
