The problem I'm referring to is that this should not be done in a pseudo-driver, but as a general framework for bdevs. For instance, why can't I have my root-partition striped ? There is no significant difference between the FDISK, bsd-disklabel, mirror, stripeing and raid 5 operations. They all translate a (dev+blkno+len) tupple to one or more similar tupples. I have been playing with idea this a bit and it's high on my winter project list. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@ref.tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
