Hi, Gvinum just got better. At least, that's what I hope. Lukas rewrote gvinum to use a simpler and easier to handle single-thread event system, and I have been adapting existing code to this. The result can be found in the patches here: http://folk.ntnu.no/lulf/patches/freebsd/gvinum One is for current, and the other is for RELENG_6. The code is not tested on RELENG_6 yet, but I expect I'll do that soon. This patch includes some missed gvinum features, as well as improvements on old ones. It is completely compatible with old vinum/gvinum configurations, so there should not be any problems with upgrading. However, even though it might seem to work for us, that might not be the case for others! Therefore, I hope many will test this patch and help discovering bugs that otherwise would just stay there. I'm also working on a test-suite, so one easily can identify the correctness of gvinum, but there will probably be cases where my tests are not sufficient. -- Ulf Lilleengen
