Vinum troubles

[Dave Hayes <dave@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

More fun. Vinum fails to find the two extra SATA disks, the ones that
are on the 3ware controller, on a reboot:

Sep  4 23:36:30 kernel: twe0: <3ware Storage Controller driver ver. 
1.40.01.002>
   port 0xbc00-0xbc0f mem 0xdf000000-0xdf7fffff,0xdfeffc00-0xdfeffc0f irq 9 at 
device 2.0 on pci6
Sep  4 23:36:30 kernel: twe0: 2 ports, 
   Firmware FE8S 1.05.00.068, BIOS BE7X 1.08.00.048
. ..
Sep  4 23:36:30 kernel: twed0: <Unit 0, JBOD, Normal> on twe0
Sep  4 23:36:30 kernel: twed0: 286168MB (586072368 sectors)
Sep  4 23:36:30 kernel: twed1: <Unit 1, JBOD, Normal> on twe0
Sep  4 23:36:30 kernel: twed1: 286168MB (586072368 sectors)

Here is the vinum config: 

drive a1 device /dev/ad5s1a
drive a2 device /dev/ad6s1a
drive a3 device /dev/ad7s1a
drive a4 device /dev/twed0s1a
drive a5 device /dev/twed1s1a
volume raidvola
plex name raidvola.p0 org raid5 4001k vol raidvola
sd name raidvola.p0.s0 drive a1 plex raidvola.p0 len 143082m
sd name raidvola.p0.s1 drive a2 plex raidvola.p0 len 143082m
sd name raidvola.p0.s2 drive a3 plex raidvola.p0 len 143082m
sd name raidvola.p0.s3 drive a4 plex raidvola.p0 len 143082m
sd name raidvola.p0.s4 drive a5 plex raidvola.p0 len 143082m
volume raidvolb
plex name raidvolb.p0 org raid5 4001k vol raidvolb
sd name raidvolb.p0.s0 drive a1 plex raidvolb.p0 len 143082m
sd name raidvolb.p0.s1 drive a2 plex raidvolb.p0 len 143082m
sd name raidvolb.p0.s2 drive a3 plex raidvolb.p0 len 143082m
sd name raidvolb.p0.s3 drive a4 plex raidvolb.p0 len 143082m
sd name raidvolb.p0.s4 drive a5 plex raidvolb.p0 len 143082m

It keeps marking the two twed units as referenced, after claiming
the subdisks they are on are crashed. The disklabels survive:

# /dev/twed0c:
type: ESDI
disk: amnesiac
label: 
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 36480
sectors/unit: 586067202
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # milliseconds
drivedata: 0 

16 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a: 586067202        0     vinum                       # (Cyl.    0 - 36480*)
  c: 586067202        0    unused        0     0        # (Cyl.    0 - 36480*)

I can get this vinum config to work just fine but it does not survive
a reboot.

Anyone have any insight into this?

A certain conqueror said to Nasrudin: "Mulla, all the great
rulers of the past had honorific titles with the name of God
in them: there was, for instance, God-Gifted, God-Accepted,
God-Sent, and so on. How about such a name for me?"

"God Forbid." said Nasrudin.
