I want a mirror, not a concatenated drive ! I want RAID 1. And - this isn't very optimal for a user to create. I do not want to calculate the sd offset size. I'm not a beginner with vinum, but I really do not want to do this. IMHO there should be a way for vinum to add this dynamically like: vinum sd-add -d 0 -n var -l 1GB vinum sd-add -d 0 -n docsis -l 6GB vinum sd-add -d 0 -n docsisvar -l end A program under unix does not have to be very cryptic, it also has to be userfriendly.
