People should have a clean update path and FreeBSD has always respected POLA. What I know from the recent thread about vinum and GEOM, and given that there will be more upcoming changes to the I/O infrastructure, vinum is likely to be broken once FreeBSD 5.3 is out. The 5.3 branch should clearly be a -stable branch once again, and if we want people to finally upgrade from 4.x, they have to be able to do it without much fuss. So, providing a completely compatible geom_vinum is a must, IMHO. 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/
