Hi guys,

I've only just subscribed but I notice gvinum seems to get a fair bit of 
traffic so I'll try to keep this brief :)

I noticed that several plexes on a system where I setup a "everything on 
gvinum" system are down (the subdisks are marked as stale), The drive itself 
is up and I wondered if anyone who has repaired this before knows the correct 
procedure to fix this? I'm sure it's just something similar to drop into 
single user mode put them down and bring them up again but I've had problems 
with GVINUM in the past giving me sporadic kernel panics (often if I did 
somethling like build a system, erase the config, use dd to zero the disks 
then put another one on without rebooting) however, better safe than sorry...

Thanks guys!

Rob
