If your are using GEOM you can stack the modules as you like. geom_mirror doesn't care if the provider below is an MBR slice or a BSD partition. So, you can partition the disk and then mirror the results, or you mirror the disks and then partition as you like it. > how does geom_vinum fit into this situation ? I plan to have geom_vinum as a true drop-in replacement, so any combination of current vinum volumes should be supported, too. 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/
