If vinum supports > raid 4 you should not have a problem (I think) Vinum supports RAID-4. It is a completely useless RAID level, and the only reason for the support is because somebody asked for it and it was a two-line change. Don't use it. RAID-5 does everything RAID-4 does, but better. This also has no relevance to the issue. You can't expand a Vinum RAID-4 or RAID-5 volume. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
