But you couldn't grow the _fs_ after that, so there was no use for this vinum feature. Now you can, not only on vinum volumes but also on usual harddisks and ccd devices. At least this is, what Christoph told me. A shrinking utility would be VERY nice, too. I would have use for this :) Alex -- cat: /home/alex/.sig: No such file or directory To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
