We've tried using Vinum but are dissapointed to find that this is impossible on a SUN machine due to the way its disk geometry differs from PCs. I have considered using GEOM to perform the mirroring, but we also need to Raid-5 the remaining disks - I would *really* prefer not to run two volume management facilities on a uniprocessor machine! Is there a stable port of RAIDFRAME in FreeBSD these days? I managed to set this up under OpenBSD a while back and it does the job ok.
