Vinum is a much larger package than ccd. To the best of my knowledge, the part of vinum which corresponds to ccd is bug-free. The bugs in vinum are mainly of the shoot-yourself-in-the-foot variety, and they're in the area of configuration management, which ccd doesn't have. > I'll be striping two 9GB drives, and I was going to use vinum (as > ccd is more or less, "obsolete"), but now I'm not sure.

If you *do* have any trouble, let me know. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
