Hi again,

  I would like to first thank all of you for your knowledge over the passed few days.  It has been helpful, and my raid is setup.  The only downside is that I am on 5.4-release and gvinum halts the kernel after I start it.

This brings me to my question.  With vinum package being around for quite sometime, and gvinum being 'young'.  Is there any reason one should use gvinum over vinum at this time?

I understand they both are basically the same, but gvinum appears to be missing important arguments (ie. resetconfig).  Again, thank you all for your knowledge.

-Josh
