* Update description of the stripe size created by vinum_stripe,grog2001-05-221-48/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vinum_mirror, vinum_raid4, vinum_raid5. Correct typos. Show new output of the 'list' and 'ls' commands. Update examples to use 279 kB stripe sizes instead of 256 kB. Clarify some text. Remove the description of the 'invalid ioctl' messages which now no longer occur. Add a description of the 'retryerrors' keyword.

* Fix vinum for both devfs and non-devfs systems.alfred2001-02-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | userland tool: Use the vfs.devfs.generation sysctl to test for devfs presense (thanks phk!) when devfs is active it will not try to create the device nodes in /dev and therefore will not complain about the failure to do so. Revert the change in the #define for VINUM_DIR in the kernel header so that vinum can find its device nodes. Replace perror() with vinum_perror() to print file/line when DEVBUG is defined (not defined by default). kernel: Don't use the #define names for the "superdev" creation since they will be prepended by "/dev/" (based on VINUM_DIR), instead use string constants. Create both debug and non-debug "superdev" nodes in the devfs. Problem noticed and fix tested by: Martin Blapp <mblapp@fuchur.lan.attic.ch>

Continually-tripped-over-by: Karl Pielorz <kpielorz@tdx.co.uk> Update information about partition type for Vinum drives.
