i've read some about vinum, courtesy of an exchange i had with greg before. is this something that a motivated, (but inexperienced,) software mechanic could figure out? the white paper i saw lacked a HOWTO or cookbook. specifically: i'd like to use FreeBSD V3.4 or V4.; which SCSI adapters are compatible? do i need to remake the kernel or [simply?] add drivers? does this happen at install time or do you install a generic release then add the vinum stuff? key question: this configuration will be used with customers who buy this thing because i told them it wouldn't break. can i get the vinum interface to send me a message periodically regarding system integrity? sorry to be such a pain. kim At 03:53 PM 6/3/2000 +0930, Greg Lehey wrote: >On Friday, 2 June 2000 at 23:30:50 -0600, Chris Fedde wrote: >> On Fri, 02 Jun 2000 20:47:50 -0500 "Kim J.
