Something like: ad0 / swap /usr /bigfs da0 /bigfs (cont.) I read Bob Van Valzah's bootstrapping guide and successfully created a Vinum-powered system with / on ad0 and /rootback on da0, etc., etc.. I intended to just wet my feet before customizing my configuration. Unfortunately, I'm still unsure of how to get to where I'm going after doing this. In fact, I'm wondering if what I want is too simple for Vinum, or even ccd. So is this worth doing? Won't I be able to resize and move filesystems around afterward? Also, *can* I do it? I just want the two spindles to look like one disk, striping the data accordingly.
