Will that work with vinum, or isn't that possible? The mirroring will work fine, but vinum loads after the root partition is mounted...

You should ask Greg Lehey about it, since he is "the vinum guy" :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
