The fine thing about GEOM is that it offers a whole bunch of new possibilities. I'm very interested to see a "native" GEOM RAID implementation, and I think Pawel is working on this one. I think we should really get together on a separate mailing list - is it time for freebsd-geom@ yet? regards, le -- Lukas Ertl eMail: l.ertl@univie.ac.at UNIX Systemadministrator Tel.: (+43 1) 4277-14073 Vienna University Computer Center Fax.: (+43 1) 4277-9140 University of Vienna http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~le/
