It has a RAID5 Vinum array and is running 4.3R (yes I know, really old ...) My question is this: If I bring it up into the 6.x train of either -STABLE or -CURRENT, will the new vinum drivers recognize the old config written to the drives? Of course backup is important, but just curious how it would handle this. It would be nice not to have to recreate it and restore it. EKG
