Thank you for your answer. I tested normal concat with both 5.2.1-RELEASE and 5.3-RELEASE with similar results. Plenty of people (at least I get this impression after browsing several mailing lists and websites) have working vinum setups with 5.2.1 (where gvinum doesn't exist) so there's definately something I'm doing wrong here. So my problem is not limited to raid5. I'm aware of gvinum and the bug and actually tried to cvsup & make world last night but it didn't succeed due to some missing files in netgraph dirs. I will try again tonight. > > --Stijn > > -- > Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already > know dragons exist.
