It's been a while, but I seem to recall that given a plex with org concat, the historic vinum could create subdisks that were automatically named with the name prefixes of the other objects in that volume. For example: drive vg device ad0s1g volume home plex org concat sd len 4g drive vg Which would create: home (volume) home.p0 (plex) home.p0.s0 (subdisk) Then, when the time came to expand the volume, the following could be used: sd len 4g plex home.p0 Which would create home.p0.s1 and the volume home could be expanded with growfs. In the 6.1-RELEASE-p2 implementation of gvinum, when I try this, I get a subdisk simply named ".s0", but apparently added to the correct plex (it increases in size). Is this considered a bug? Is it enough detail? :) A casual search of PR's didn't show me anything that looked quite like this. Thanks, Marty
