Ivan- I was happy to see in the FreeBSD status report that gvirstor has been committed to CVS and will be in RELENG_7. Obviously this is great functionality with many potential uses. Thanks for your great work and efforts to get it committed! In thinking about how I personally would use it, I realized I would add drives to a system until I ran out of slots or controller connections, and then want to upgrade to larger drives. From the manpage (and the code) it doesn't look like this is currently possible unless the drive you want to replace happens to be unused. How feasible would it be to either extend the "remove" verb to migrate in-use chunks to other (existing) providers or create a "replace" verb to migrate in-use chunks to a new provider? Thanks, JN
