I don't remember having had trouble once vinum was actually configured and running (except for the one bug in the recovery code which I fixed way back when, two years ago?), but I've run into a lot of trouble getting it configured. It may have been a combination of pilot error with the "multiple starts" problem you mention. I haven't touched vinum in quite a while, and I'm perfectly willing to believe that it's gotten better since then. Have all the devfs- and geom-related issues been ironed out btw? (except for the growfs thing, which isn't really a vinum problem) DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
