The > main changes are these: What I need to know is whether the raid5 support in gvinum is solid, yet. I would dearly love to move my desktop system from 4-stable to RELENG_5, but I have two rather large vinum raid5 filesystems that I really need to keep. Is anyone actually using raid5 with gvinum on RELENG_5? If so, how stable is it? (The last I heard, there were still potential data corruption problems, but I'm hoping that those have been fixed by now.) -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com http://www.exit.com/ Exit Consulting http://www.gpsclock.com/ http://www.exit.com/blog/frank/
