I'm working quite a lot these days with gvinum but this is the second time in my life I'm dealing with this tool (the first was about +3y ago and for some very simple RAID0 setup) so I don't know I would be able to add stuff in it at the moment but if there's something I can do I'm willing to (at least) try.
